Football agent Saif Rubie has been found not guilty of sending a threatening email to former Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia.
The intermediary broke down in tears in the dock as the jury read out the verdict.
Rubie was accused of sending the email on May 22, 2022, over a payment he believed he was owed as part of Kurt Zouma’s move from Chelsea to West Ham in August 2021.
The agent denied he had threatened to cause distress to Granovskaia and a jury has cleared Rubie of the charge.
