Cardiff CEO called cops after being ‘threatened’ by Emiliano Sala’s agent Willie McKay
Ken Choo was so concerned for his personal safety that he called the police following his unexpected meeting with McKay
CARDIFF chief executive Ken Choo told police he was threatened by agent Willie McKay in a face-to-face meeting.
Choo, involved in talks to sign Emiliano Sala from Nantes, was so shaken by the alleged incident he reported it to cops.
McKay, who brokered a deal worth £20million on behalf of the French club, allegedly made menacing calls to Cardiff officials since the tragedy, something he denies.
And SunSport can reveal Choo was so concerned for his personal safety that he called the police following his unexpected meeting with McKay.
Met Police chiefs confirmed that McKay is under investigation for an alleged public order offence in London.
Welsh cops said yesterday that the incident had been “transferred to the Metropolitan Police Service”.
A Met Police statement confirmed: “No arrests have been made at this time.”
Argentine Sala, along with pilot David Ibbotson, died when the Piper Malibu aircraft they were in came down in the English Channel on January 21.

SunSport reported how the man who brokered Sala’s murky £15million transfer from Nantes called it on with Cardiff City by challenging them to a public meeting back in February.
McKay’s family were on 10 per cent of the Sala transfer fee, artificially inflated after Willie told journalists there was interest from Everton and West Ham.
He got it pumped up to £15m, plus nearly £5m in bonuses if Sala scored the goals to keep Cardiff in the Premier League.
So the McKays stood to make £2m in commission.
