Operation Tuleta is a British police investigation by the Metropolitan Police Service into allegations of computer hacking , related to the News International phone hacking scandal .

On 29 July 2011, Channel 4 News reported a statement from the Metropolitan Police: "Some aspects of this operation will move forward to a formal investigation. There will be a new team reporting to DAC Sue Akers ". This followed a statement given to Channel 4 News by former army intelligence corporal Ian Hurst (aka Martin Ingram [3] ): "Police officers working for Operation Tuleta have informed me that they have identified information of evidential value in regard to my family's computer being illegally accessed over a sustained period of 2006. The decision by the Metropolitan Police to proceed to a full criminal investigation was conveyed to me this week by Tuleta police officers". [4]
