BREAKING: RYAN GIGGS

GIGGS CASE DROPPED BY PROSECUTORS
By Josh Halliday

Ryan Giggs will not face a second trial on charges of domestic violence after prosecutors dropped the case.

The former Manchester United footballer, 49, had been due to go on trial on 31 July charged with coercive or controlling behaviour against his former partner and assaulting her sister. However, prosecutors told Manchester crown court on Tuesday that they would not be pursuing the case.

Jurors were unable to reach verdicts in his first trial last September.

Giggs, the most decorated footballer of his generation in the English game, has been on police bail for more than two and a half years since he was arrested on 1 November 2020.

He has consistently denied controlling or coercive behaviour towards his ex-girlfriend Kate Greville, now 38, over a three-year period between August 2017 and November 2020.

He also denied assaulting Greville, causing actual bodily harm, and the common assault of her sister Emma Greville on 1 November 2020.

During Giggs’ time at Old Trafford, Manchester United won 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League trophies, four FA Cups and three League Cups.

Giggs stood down as manager of the Wales national team in 2022 after a period of leave since November 2020. He won 64 caps for Wales and is a co-owner of the League Two side Salford.

His defence barrister, Chris Daw KC, said: "Mr Giggs is deeply relieved that the case has finally come to an end after almost three years of fighting to clear his name.

"He now intends to rebuild his life and career as an innocent man."

Get him back? Why? He's nothing special as a manager and not much better than Page.
