Cardiff examines a complaint for negligence on the theft of Emilano Sala

The City of Cardiff could launch a lawsuit for negligence after the plane disaster Emiliano Sala, the club facing a financial loss of about 14 million pounds sterling (27 million NZD) even after the payment of insurance premiums. The daily telegraph may disclose.

Club officials worry more and more about the decision to have their record set at the Channel in a single-engine aircraft built in 1984 and driven by a part-time gas engineer.

Cardiff is currently reviewing their legal status as they face a three-year contract valued by the accountants at £ 30 million (NZ $ 58 million), of which £ 2.5 million (4.8 million USD) New Zealand dollars).

Accident insurance will probably only cover half of the expected loss. One source said that Cardiff's payments to Nantes had been frozen until the authorities established the facts of the crash.

Last night, the club said The telegraph: "Cardiff made it clear that this had nothing to do with the preparations for the flight, and new information is coming in every day as we continue to investigate the chain of events and the cause of the accident .. examine the possible possibility of negligence that could have caused the accident. "

The flight had been booked independently by Sala's agent and Mark McKay, an intermediary in the transaction. Emergency services estimate that the plane crashed into the sea on Monday night after taking off from Nantes, in northwestern France.

The club is particularly keen to discuss the chain of events with the owners of the Piper PA-46-310P, registered in the United States, Malibu.

An amount of £ 20 million had been agreed with Nantes, including a bonus of £ 3 million (N $ 5.8 million) if the club survived the relegation. Sala was expected for his first practice session in Wales on Tuesday. The transfer documents had already been filed with the Football Association and FIFA. Cardiff "will pay all that is due, once they have established all the answers and determined all the facts," said a source. The search for the plane officially ended Thursday, against the will of the family of Sala. Rescue teams had traveled an area of ​​about 1,700 km 2 of land and sea without finding any remains of the plane.

Yesterday, Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona both supported the calls to resume the search. A receptionist at the hotel where the pilot was staying also added to the mystery saying that she thought the plane had to leave 10 hours before takeoff.

The club would have benefited from personal protection against accidents in the amount of 16 million pounds sterling (30 million NZD) with financial giant Lloyd's to cover the players. The insurance insider magazine reports that the club's crash policy is led by China Re Syndicate 2088 and negotiated by Miller. Sala's name was probably added to the club's policy when the transfer was made on January 19, just two days before her death.

China Re's main line represents about 16% of the total limit, the other Lloyd's insurers being prepared to pay the rest of the claim. The Piper Malibu aircraft, which disappeared off the coast of Guernsey, is also insured on the London market.

The aircraft was registered in the United States rather than in Britain through a Norfolk-based company.

The owners said in a statement from Southern Aircraft Consultancy that they "cooperated fully with the relevant authorities, including the AAIB [air investigators] and the police ".
