Businessman who organised flight that killed footballer Emiliano Sala convicted

The businessman who organised the flight that killed footballer Emiliano Sala has been found guilty of endangering the safety of the aircraft.

David Henderson was convicted by a majority verdict of 10 to two by a jury at Cardiff Crown Court on Thursday.

The flight left Nantes and was heading to Wales after the Argentine footballer completed a £15m move to play for Cardiff City.

Sala’s body was recovered a month after the crash, but the body of pilot Mr Ibbotson is yet to be found.
