James Murdoch, the head of the company "News International" and the son of media magnate Rupert Murdoch, answered in the English parliament the questions of deputies related to the affair of tapping mobile phones in the arrangement of the tabloid "News of the World", and one of the deputies called Murdoch Jr. a mafia the boss.
During the questioning, Labor MP Tom Watson suggested that the British newspaper was under "omerta" - a mafia law of silence.
Murdoch declared that he was quite angry and rejected such a possibility with disgust.
He blamed all the problems on the editors who, as he said, should have "avoided irregularities".
"The editors are the ones who need to clean things up, to give me insight into the situation. That's their job," Murdoch said and emphasized that he was not aware of everything that was happening, according to British media.
"Then you must be the first mob boss in history who didn't know he was running a criminal organization," replied MP Murdoch.
