Glenn Mulcaire Glenn Mulcaire was jailed in 2007 after admitting to phone hacking
The private investigator at the centre of the News of the World phone-hacking claims "acted on the instructions of others", his legal team has said.
In a statement Glenn Mulcaire's legal team said any suggestion he acted unilaterally was "untrue".
They said there were times when he thought his instructions were from those who wished to help solve crimes.
Mulcaire was jailed in 2007 after admitting to phone hacking while he was working for the paper.
The statement said: "Glenn Mulcaire has already expressed his sincere regret to those who have been hurt and affected by his activities and he repeats that apology most sincerely.
"He was effectively employed by News of the World from 2002 to carry out his role as a private investigator.
"As he accepted when he pleaded guilty in 2007 to charges of phone interception he admits that his role did include phone hacking."
It continued: "As an employee he acted on the instructions of others.
"There were also occasions when he understood his instructions were from those who genuinely wished to assist in solving crimes.
"Any suggestion that he acted in such matters unilaterally is untrue. In the light of the ongoing police investigation, he cannot say any more."
