LONDON - Britain's Supreme Court says a private investigator must reveal who ordered him to hack mobile phone voice mails on behalf of a tabloid newspaper.

Glenn Mulcaire was jailed briefly in 2007 for eavesdropping on the phone messages of royal aides on behalf of the now-defunct News of the World.

Actor Steve Coogan is suing Mulcaire and Rupert Murdoch's News International after being told his phones had been hacked and wants Mulcaire to provide evidence for his case. News of the World was part of Murdoch's media empire.

Mulcaire attempted to refuse under laws that prevent self-incrimination, but the country's highest court ruled Wednesday that he must hand over the information.
