..amends for the damage they have caused..
Guess it was too much to hope, that he'd take some of the responsibility himself

They are American citizens. 
This is a good thing, because the USA has a neat little law that means an American citizen can be prosecuted for crimes of bribery and corruption that they have carried out anywhere else in the world. If the allegations about bungs for British coppers turn out to have any substance, Messrs. Murdoch might just find that their corporate responsibility for the shambles that is News Corp lands them in some very deep dooh-dooh indeed with an American judge.

..... or Rupert could accidentally fake his death by falling off his yacht whilst sailing near the Canaries.... or is that getting too far fetched? Who'd believe a press baron in deep doo doo would fabricate his own death
What a lovely play that would make, Robert and Rupert seeing out their twilight year on a secluded island with fake identities.

But they where Aussies, and I believe the USA can revoke their US citizenship
. Then deport them.

Mr. Hinton, a long-time confidant of Mr. Murdoch, ran News International, the British publishing subsidiary of Mr. Murdoch’s News Corporation, from 1997 to 2005, during the time when the phone hacking that touched off the scandal took place.
Mr. Hinton has said repeatedly he was unaware that people working for The News of the World, a Sunday tabloid that Mr. Murdoch recently shut down to help contain the growing crisis, were illegally accessing private voice mail messages. In his resignation letter to Mr. Murdoch, Mr. Hinton acknowledged that he ultimately bore responsibility for the company.
“That I was ignorant of what apparently happened is irrelevant and in the circumstances I feel it is proper for me to resign from News Corp, and apologize to those hurt by the actions of the News of the World,” he wrote in his resignation letter to Mr. Murdoch.

Hmmm!

This is not necessarily limited to US citizens. I believe (but I stand to be corrected) that it goes for any employee of a company incorporated in the US.
