The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has begun a criminal prosecution against David Henderson, who it alleges was involved in arranging the January 2019 flight in which a Piper Malibu crashed en route between Nantes, France, and Cardiff, UK, killing soccer player Emiliano Sala and pilot David Ibbotson. The CAA is pressing charges under the Air Navigation Order, relating to allegations that the flight constituted an illegal commercial operation and also that Henderson “acted in a reckless/negligent manner likely to endanger” the U.S.-registered aircraft.
