"Rebekah Brooks received a payout of \u00A310.8 million on leaving News International, newly-published accounts have shown. This figure is higher than the \u00A37 million previously reported in October.   At that time, sources claimed that the ex-editor of The Sun and News of the World had received between \u00A36 million and \u00A38 million made up of cash payments for loss of service, pension enhancement, money for legal costs, a car and an office. The Guardian notes that in the accounts published by NI Group, News Corp&amp;#039;s UK holding company for its newspapers and HarperCollins publisher reveal a \u00A310.852 million payment to an unnamed director. This is described as &amp;quot;compensation for loss of office&amp;quot; and also includes &amp;quot;various ongoing benefits&amp;quot;, including &amp;quot;all legal and other professional costs... until those investigations are concluded&amp;quot;. Brooks and fellow former News of the World editor Andy Coulson return to court today (December 12) to face charges relating to the phone hacking scandal and payments to officials.  [Rebekah Brooks and her husband Charlie Brooks] Soon after her departure, Brooks&amp;#039;s severance package was reported to be only \u00A33.5 million. This sum was later revised down to \u00A31.7 million plus a London office and limousine. Brooks had quit as chief executive of News of the World in July 2011, soon after it emerged that the newspaper had hacked the phone of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler in 2002. Brooks was editor of the Sunday paper at that time. Earlier this month, Tom Mockeridge announced his departure as chief executive of News International, with his replacement being named as Sky chief operating officer Mike Darcey.
