Sun executive editor Fergus Shanahan is to be charged with authorising payments to a public official, prosecutors have said.
The Crown Prosecution Service announced that Mr Shanahan is accused of conspiring with a public official and another journalist to commit misconduct in a public office between August 2006 and August 2007.
Alison Levitt, QC, Principal Legal Advisor to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), said in a statement: "Following a careful review of the evidence, we have concluded that Fergus Shanahan, who served as an Editor at the Sun newspaper, should be charged with an offence of conspiring to commit misconduct in public office.
"It is alleged that in August 2006 and August 2007 Mr Shanahan, in his role as an editor, authorised one of his journalists to make two payments totalling £7,000 to a public official for the disclosure of information."
He faces the charges under the Operation Elveden, the Metropolitan Police Service's probe into payments to officials.
