The businessman who illegally organised the doomed flight that killed footballer Emiliano Sala denies prohibiting the pilot from making distress calls.
The Argentinian striker died alongside pilot David Ibbotson, 59, when their Piper Malibu aircraft crashed into the English Channel close to Alderney on January 21, 2019.
The 28-year-old had been flying to Wales from France to join Premier League club Cardiff City in a £15 million transfer from Ligue 1 side Nantes.
