UK's Daily Mail:
Rebekah Brooks received a £1.7m cash payment, a chauffeur-driven limousine and a London office after quitting as chief-executive of News International, it was revealed today.
The former News of the World editor stood down at the height of the phone hacking scandal and was arrested days later.
Ms Brooks, 43, resigned as director of 23 companies related to News International after standing down from her post in July but received a bumper payout, the Observer revealed.
As part of the deal she was also given use of a limo and an office in the centre of London for the next two years. Its location has not been revealed amid fears for her safety.
She started out as a secretary at the News of the World and is a favourite of Rupert Murdoch.
Quitting and then making vast amounts of money... Rupert Murdoch... A recurring theme?
