Emiliano Sala's mum claims he was "betrayed" as she breaks silence on tragic plane crash

The mum of tragic footballer Emiliano Sala has broken her silence for the first time since her son's tragic death in a plane crash three years ago.

The 28-year-old striker and pilot David Ibbotson, 59, died when the small plane they were flying in entered the English Channel in January 2019.

His mum Mercedes Carina Taffarel said that "the plane was not in good condition" and that her son "was betrayed" but that she wants "to believe that justice is going to be done".
