Rescuers CALL OFF search for missing Cardiff star after 72 hours

The bereft sister of missing £15million footballer Emiliano Sala sobbed today after she learned the search for him was called off and said: 'I know he's still alive. He would never give up'.

The star striker's sibling Romina broke down at a press conference in Cardiff this afternoon after flying into the Welsh capital from Argentina to meet his club bosses.

Investigators are to probe the licence of missing part-time pilot Dave Ibbotson who flew the doomed aircraft that vanished over the Channel, MailOnline can exclusively reveal today.

The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) has confirmed it will look into whether the flight chartered by the son of mega-agent Willie McKay was legal.
