Emiliano Sala Plane Crash

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Friday dismissed an appeal by Cardiff against having to pay the first instalment of the transfer fee for Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala, who died in a plane accident en route to his new club

The lawyer defending a man on trial over the 2019 plane crash that killed Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala said on Tuesday his involvement in the tragedy was "purely a paperwork issue".

The owner of a plane that crashed with Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala on board told a UK court on Wednesday she had ordered the operator not to use the pilot.

A man charged in connection with the death of Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala in a light aircraft crash in 2019 will go on trial in Cardiff on Monday.

Britain's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on Thursday said it had charged a man in connection with the death of Argentine footballer Emiliano Sala in a light aircraft crash last year.

Footballer Emiliano Sala was killed when the unlicensed pilot of his plane lost control and flew too fast as he tried to avoid bad weather, British aviation investigators said on Friday.

The AAIB confirmed that pilot David Ibbotson, 59, was unlicensed to fly that particular aircraft and at night, when the tragedy occurred.

Emiliano Sala was killed when the small plane taking him to join the then Premier League side Cardiff crashed off the Channel island of Guernsey.

The amount corresponds to the first instalment of the 17 million-euro fee Cardiff had agreed to pay Nantes before Emiliano Sala died in a plane crash on January 21.

Footballer Emiliano Sala and the pilot flying his plane when it crashed were likely exposed to "potentially fatal" levels of carbon monoxide, investigators announced on Wednesday.

The pilot of a small plane that plunged into the English Channel with newly-signed Premier League striker Emiliano Sala on board was not authorised to fly at night, the BBC reported on Saturday.

Emiliano Sala was travelling from France to join up with his new club, Premier League side Cardiff City.

French civil aviation authorities confirmed that 28-year-old Sala "was on board the plane" that disappeared over the English channel.

Emiliano Sala was signed by Cardiff on Saturday from French club Nantes for a reported 17 million euro.
