As you may recall, the Piper plane that was on its way to Cardiff, the team that signed Sala (then in the Premier League) crashed in flight on 21.1, 2019. The body of the 28-year-old Argentine was found about a month after the crash, unlike the pilot's body. Henderson is accused of hiring a pilot who was not authorized to fly on this aircraft at all and was not authorized to fly at night and his flight license expired in November 2018. The lengthy trial in Cardiff also revealed that the pilot, David Ibutson, committed two flight offenses in 2018 and the plane owner asked him Do not use it anymore.

Sala, 28, has scored 12 league goals in the Nantes uniform this season and 42 in total and is considered one of the leading strikers in the French league. He previously recorded terms in Cone and grew up in the Bordeaux youth team, in the media he developed as a player and became a star in the last two years. About two weeks ago he became the most valuable player in Cardiff's history after being paid a record sum of £ 18 million, however when he took off to land in his new team, the disaster that struck the entire football world came as a shock.
