Football Agent Denies Threatening Abramovich Associate in Court

Saif Alrubie, accused of sending a threatening email to a former Chelsea director, asserts it would be foolish to threaten anyone linked to Roman Abramovich.

Saif Alrubie is on trial for allegedly sending an intimidating email to Marina Granovskaia, demanding payment for a player transfer.
Alrubie claims threatening Abramovich's associate would be a 'suicide mission', denying any intent of physical threat.
The court hears Alrubie was arrested on the day of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, comparing his treatment to that of 'Pablo Escobar'.
Key witness and fellow agent Kia Joorabchian was absent from the trial, having flown to the US unexpectedly.
Alrubie insists on a civil resolution to recover the commission he believes he is owed, denying any wrongdoing.
