According to Radio Five Live, the cost of the investigation so far is £9m, with a further £20m expected to bring the case to a conclusion. That's almost £30m of public funds (that could have gone to the NHS, education or overseas aid) being used to determine whether or not the News of the World was a seedy, amoral publication.
