Former Tottenham Hotspur owner Joe Lewis has received a pardon from Donald Trump after being fined £3.8million and given three years probation by a New York judge last year.
The east London-born billionaire, 88, whose family is still in control of Spurs, was spared jail when he admitted to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and two counts of securities fraud in January 2024.
Lewis initially denied all the charges against him, with his lawyers accusing prosecutors of making an 'egregious' error, but later changed his plea to guilty after a non-custodial sentence was agreed.
