Paul Dacre, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, is in trouble with the law for paying £10,000 for copies of stolen photographs of Madonna's wedding to Guy Ritchie. The judge who ruled in Madonna's favour is Mr Justice Eady. Recently, Paul Dacre abused his position at the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday to launch a private attack upon the judge.
