A cousin of Jean Charles de Menezes , the Brazilian man shot dead by police who mistook him for a fugitive suspected of involvement in the 21 July 2005 attempted bombings in London , may also have had his phone hacked by the '' News of the World '' after Menezes 's death . A spokesperson from the Justice4Jean campaign group said : " The Menezes family are deeply pained to find their phones may have been hacked at a time at which they were at their most vulnerable and bereaved . " Carole Caplin , the former fitness adviser to Prime Minister Tony Blair , announced that the Metropolitan police had told her that her mobile phone was probably hacked , dating back to 2002 – along with the Milly Dowler case in the same year , this is one of the earliest cases so far discovered
