David Furnish calls alleged phone hacks of him and Elton John ‘an abomination’

David Furnish testified in High Court that Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), publisher of the Daily Mail, allegedly used unlawful means like phone hacking and private investigators to gather information about him and Elton John. Furnish stated that the couple felt "violated" by the "narrow-minded" stories published using this stolen information. He and John are among seven claimants, including Prince Harry, accusing ANL of unlawful information gathering. ANL denies all allegations, claiming the articles were based on legitimate sources like journalists' contacts and press statements. The allegations surfaced after Elizabeth Hurley informed Furnish about a private investigator's alleged involvement in intercepting their phone calls, though ANL claims the investigator denies working on Elton John.
