The same day and towards the same man, McKay made threatening phone calls, where he said, “I’ll shoot the lot of you”, and, “You don’t know who you’re dealing with”.

“A man, aged in his 50s [McKay now 60], was interviewed under caution on Tuesday, 28 May. He was not arrested.

The Premier League football agent was linked into the investigation of Sala’s death, but McKay has stated that he had nothing to do with the selection of the pilot David Ibbotson who flew the plane on that tragic day.

He said he arranged the flight that Sala took from Nantes, but was not involved in selecting the plane or pilot.
