Press Gazette – Mail on Sunday apologises to Russian billionaire over links to “rape and murder” allegations: Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, the major shareholder in Arsenal FC, today accepted a formal apology at London’s High Court after The Mail on Sunday linked him to rape and murder allegations. (Usmanov) sued over the article on 2 December 2007 headlined “The corruption of football is no laughing matter Harry”

Nice to see Usmanov finally taking a case to court… but when will he challenge Craig Murray in the same manner?
