19:41 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe FBI plans to contact the actor Jude Law following claims that his mobile phone was hacked during a visit to the US, officials have told the BBC.<\/p>\n
It is alleged that a story published by the News of the World newspaper in 2003 was based on information obtained from the star’s voicemail.<\/p>\n
If the accusation is proved to be true, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation could face charges in the US.<\/p>\n
News International, the UK newspaper arm of News Corp, denies the claims.<\/p>\n
Hackers allegedly accessed Jude Law’s mobile phone while he was at John F Kennedy Airport in New York City.<\/p>\n
An article in the News of the World later gave a detailed account of the actor’s communications with an assistant.<\/p>\n
Law’s phone would have been using an American mobile network if used in the US, which could open the door to charges under US federal law, says the BBC’s Steve Kingstone in New York.<\/p>\n
The actor’s British publicist declined to comment on the matter.<\/p>\n
The FBI has already said it is looking into a claim that the News of the World sought to access the phone records of people who died on 9\/11.<\/p>\n
The Sunday tabloid was shut down this month after allegations surfaced that it had hacked the phones of a murdered schoolgirl, the victims of London’s 2005 terrorist bombings and the families of dead British soldiers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
