Former Leeds managing director acquitted in Dubai tweet case (The Associated Press)

The former managing director of British football club Leeds United was acquitted Monday of a cybercrime charge over a tweet sent on his behalf while he was held in a Dubai prison, his lawyer said. David Haigh will remain imprisoned for a few more days while Dubai prosecutors decide whether to appeal the court's decision, lawyer Michel Chalhoub said. Chalhoub said he was hopeful Haigh - who has been imprisoned on fraud charges since May 2014 - would be freed soon, though the ongoing financial case between him and Dubai-based GFH Capital will go on.
