No further action will be taken against a man arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in relation to the death of Emiliano Sala, police have said. The footballer was killed in a plane crash last year.
Dorset police have ended their investigation of the 64-year-old from North Yorkshire, who was arrested on 19 June last year.
Det Inspr Simon Huxter, of Dorset police’s major crime investigation team, said: “We have carried out a detailed examination into the circumstances of Mr Sala’s death. This has been a complex investigation involving the examination of a large amount of evidence and in liaison with a range of organisations.
“We have worked closely with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) during our investigation and we are now able to confirm that Dorset police will not be seeking a formal charging decision by the CPS in relation to homicide offences.”
Argentinian striker Sala, 28, was flying from Nantes in France to his new club Cardiff City when the Piper Malibu aircraft plunged into the Channel on 21 January 2019. His body was recovered but the aircraft’s pilot, David Ibbotson, 59, has not been found.
