A bodyguard for former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks has been charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.
The charges against David Johnson, 47, relate to inquiries into phone hacking and payments to public officials.
Mr Johnson is accused of conspiring to hide computers and other items from police between 15 and 19 July 2011.
He was bailed to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 8 May 2013.
It is alleged that Mr Johnson - self-employed of London Road, Mitcham, Surrey - conspired with six people, including the former newspaper executive and her husband Charlie, who have already been charged.
The charges were made under Operation Sacha - Scotland Yard's investigation into allegations of perverting the course of justice relating to Operation Weeting, its phone hacking inquiry, and Operation Elveden, which is investigating alleged payments to public officials by journalists.
Senior CPS lawyer Gregor McGill said: "Following a careful review of the evidence, we have concluded that David Johnson, a security professional who was employed to provide a protection service to Rebekah Brooks, should be charged with an offence of conspiracy to pervert the course of public justice.
"It is alleged that between 15 and 19 July 2011 Mr Johnson conspired to pervert the course of justice by concealing computers and other items from the Metropolitan Police Service during its investigation into allegations of phone hacking and the corruption of public officials by journalists."
