Rebekah Brooks, Rupert Murdoch's former British newspaper boss, has told a London court she had sanctioned payments to public officials but denied authorising illegal sums for which she is on triad.

Brooks is accused of authorising almost £40,000 pounds ($74,530) in illegal payments from a reporter on Mr Murdoch's Sun tabloid to a Ministry of Defence official while she was editor of the paper.

She denies the charge, and other offences of conspiracy to hack phones and perverting the course of justice.

Asked by her defence lawyer on Thursday if she had ever sanctioned payments to public officials, something which is illegal, Brooks replied: "Yes, probably since I was deputy editor of the Sun ... a handful of occasions, half a dozen."
