      by

      A MUM has won an £11,000 payout from a Premier League star accused of helping his brother dodge child support payments for his young daughter, she claims.Chelsea ace Tosin Adarabioyo allegedly funds older brother Fisayo’s extravagant lifestyle, paying for a £2.9million mansion, giving him a monthly income and a credit card to go shopping with.Nadia Messaoud during a protest outside Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadiumCredit: Nadia MessaoudNadia has won an £11,000 payout from the Premier League starCredit: PP.Tosin Adarabioyo allegedly funds older brother Fisayo’s extravagant lifestyleCredit: Shutterstock EditorialThe Sun snapped photos of flashy Fisayo, 30, a former pro-footballer, carrying a £3,140 Bottega Veneta leather briefcase. But despite his millionaire lifestyle, Fisayo has yet to pay a penny towards his two-year-old daughter Anara’s upbringing after telling the Child Maintenance Service he’s skint, it is claimed.Anara’s struggling mum Nadia Messaoud, 41, who dated Fisayo for a year before they split in 2022, said she was forced to take action after being ignored.She took civil action against Chelsea defender Tosin for funding his brother while allegedly knowing of his sibling’s obligations.Legal documents relating to the civil action, seen by The Sun, state: “The defendant (Tosin) has been knowingly providing his older brother, Fisayo Adarabioyo, with an income that is not being declared to HMRC or the child maintenance service.“This is with the intention to obstruct my daughter’s legal right to obtain child maintenance.“My child has for the last three years been awarded the nil level of CMS.”Nadia also alleged that as well as thousands of pounds a month in cash income, Tosin also provides his brother with a credit card to spend on.  Most read in FootballAccording to Land Registry documents, Tosin, 27, thought to be on £120,000 a week at Chelsea, owns the Cheshire mansion in which Fisayo lives.The Department of Work and Pensions has awarded unemployed Fisayo a “nil rate” on child support for the past three years because he claims he does not earn enough to pay.Nadia staged a protest outside Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium last month to raise awareness around her cause.She wore a vest top and held a sign both of which said: “TOSIN #4 Women Matter, Children Matter, D.A (Domestic Abuse) survivors matter.”She is backed by domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid.Fisayo was convicted of harassment without violence in 2022 after turning up at Nadia’s terraced home in Cheshire, banging on her door and leaving her terrified.He also bombarded her with texts, saying he hoped she miscarried the baby and threatened to kill her.After allegedly failing to respond to Nadia’s legal claim, his brother Tosin has been ordered by the court to pay her £11,000.However, Tosin’s legal team told The Sun the order was a “default judgement” made in error “on the part of the court”.Nadia said: “I’ve not received a penny from Fisayo to help with our daughter, while he’s living a footballer’s lifestyle thanks to his Chelsea playing brother.”I’ve been rebuffed at every opportunity which is why I decided to take legal action against both of them.”All I ever wanted was a reasonable level of financial support but Fisayo has claimed poverty. Now I know the truth.”As a Premier League player Tosin is supposed to be a role model, but his actions have essentially blocked my daughter from receiving the financial support she’s entitled to by law.”Tosin’s lawyers’ statement added: “The Order arises from a default judgement which has been entered by the Court in a claim issued by Nadia Messaoud against our client (‘the Claim’).Unfortunately, it would appear that our client’s strike out application has not been properly processed by the Court and it has therefore allowed automatic default judgement to be entered in favour of Ms Messaoud.”This is a very serious administrative failing on the Court’s part and one which we are addressing with the Court on our client’s behalf. Inappropriately, she made an application for judgement in default, despite being served with that application. “Your summary is not a fair and accurate report of anything that has taken place in the Court proceedings.”They added that as well as “chasing” the court, they have also made an application on their client’s behalf “to have the default judgement order set aside”.”In summary therefore, the Order which you have seen is subject to an active challenge, and should neverhave been issued by the Court in the first place.”They said the claim is a “pattern of behaviour” by Ms Messaoud “to exert unwanted pressure on our client to provide further funding to her”.Read More on The Sun”Our client has no relationship with Ms Messaoud and owes no legal or other duties or obligations to her,” the statement adds.The Sun has also contacted Fisayo’s lawyer and Chelsea for comment.Fisayo Adarabioyo seen in January this year carrying a £3,140 Bottega Veneta leather briefcaseCredit: PP.Fisayo Adarabioyo playing for Altrincham in 2020Credit: Getty More

I demand that the court recuse judge Makintach.”As the trailer was played, defence lawyer Rodolfo Baque jumped out of his chair to shout “trash” at the judge.The late footballer’s daughter Gianinna Maradona tried to calm him before she and Maradona’s former partner, Veronica Ojeda, both began to sob.Makintach sat with her head bowed, biting her lip and eventually said she had “no choice” but to recuse herself as one of the case’s three justices.Her removal is an embarrassment for Argentina’s judicial system and could yet derail a trial being watched by football fans worldwide.Maradona – considered one of the world’s greatest ever football players – had been recovering at his home in Buenos Aires from surgery on a brain blood clot when he tragically died of a heart attack aged 60.Seven members of the legend’s medical team are being prosecuted for negligent homicide over his death in November 2020.She also struts in her high heels in the trailerCredit: P14The trailer preview was one of the various pieces of evidence seized by cops in raids last week as the trail was suspendedCredit: Clarin Judges Veronica Di Tommaso, Maximiliano Savarino and Julieta Makintach attend the first day of soccer legend Diego Maradona’s death trialCredit: ReutersPortrait of Argentina’s midfielder Diego Maradona in 1986Credit: AFPThose responsible for his medical care face prison terms between eight and 25 years if convicted of homicide with possible intent.The charges relate to their decision to allow him to recover from major surgery at home, and the conditions of his care.They deny the charges.The medical team on trial includes a neurosurgeon, a doctor and a night nurse.The defendants have claimed Maradona refused any further treatment and should have stayed home for longer following his operation.Gianinna Maradona has claimed her father was kept in “a dark, ugly and lonely” place and that his carers were more interested in money than his welfare.The court will decide on Thursday whether the trial will go ahead or be scrapped and then restarted.Some of the plaintiffs have called for a new trial, saying they felt proceedings have been tainted by scandal.The lawyer for Maradona’s ex-partner Ojeda said that “everyone now feels that this is compromised,” adding that it’s “healthiest to start over from scratch”.Glam Makintach denied being paid for the documentary and said that she had given “an interview to a childhood friend about the justice system”.Makintach added: “That material was raw, it was intimate.

      Man Utd star AVOIDS jail after he crashed Audi in 99mph horror smash with ‘balloon in his mouth’

      by

      A FORMER Man Utd star has avoided jail after he was caught with a balloon in his mouth before he crashed his Audi in a 99mph horror smash.Brandon Williams was driving erratically on the A34 near Handforth in Cheshire on August 20, 2023.Brandon Williams has pleaded guilty to driving dangerouslyCredit: Andrew Price / View Finder PicturesThe former Man Utd player crashed his Audi at 99mphCredit: GettyThe 24-year-old was playing for Utd at the time but was loaned to Ipswich for the 2023-24 season.Williams today avoided jail after he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and driving without third party insurance following the high-speed crash.He was instead handed a 14 month sentence, suspended for two years, and banned from driving for three years.Sentencing, Judge Eric Lamb said: “There was no reason for driving in the way you did.”Chester Crown Court heard the defender was with a female passenger at the time of the crash and was “showing off”..She was seen filming him at one point as Williams reached speeds of 99mph with a balloon in his mouth, it was said.He lost control of the Audi A3 before it collided with a blue Ford Fiesta and then smashed into the central reservation.Three of the occupants of the Fiesta, which was written off, were injured with one saying she “felt she was going to be killed”.Most read in FootballThe female driver and a male passenger suffered whiplash, while another passenger was left with seatbelt injuries and bruising.Williams, who no longer has a team, was breathalysed at the scene but the test was negative.A witness said Williams’ Audi had been “closing in” behind her before the smash and claimed both the star and his passenger had “yellow balloons in their mouths”.But Max Saffman, prosecuting, told the court that the crown did not contend Williams was “impaired” by nitrous oxide or any other substance.The footballer was taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries before he was arrested.Williams told police he was driving the Audi but initially denied he was driving erratically.He also attempted to blame another driver for the crash – telling officers he only hit the central reservation as he was forced to swerve.Williams was asked about witnesses who saw him with a balloon at his mouth but he replied: “No comment”.The court heard had been given “too much too soon” and was experiencing “significant mental health issues” at the time.Williams, who is without a club, is now said to be “in better shape mentally and physically” and is hoping to secure a contract this summer. The footballer joined United’s academy as a youngster and went on to make 51 appearances for the first team.Williams has spent two stints on loan away from Old Trafford — firstly with Norwich City during the 2021/22 season where he made 26 appearances and then Ipswich.In June last year, Utd announced that Williams would leave the club at the end of his contract.Andrew Madden, a senior crown prosecutor with CPS Mersey-Cheshire, said: “Brandon Williams’ driving on that day clearly fell far below what would be expected of a competent and careful driver.“Expert analysis showed that he was driving at 99 mph four seconds before he hit the Ford Fiesta.“Witnesses said Williams kept speeding up and then breaking sharply.“It was clear he wasn’t in control of the vehicle.“The driving was erratic and the speed was grossly excessive. “Eventually, Williams lost control completely and crashed.“It is a fortunate no one was seriously injured or killed.Read More on The Sun“To drive at 99mph in those circumstances was extremely dangerous and placed the lives of other road users at serious risk of harm.“The Crown Prosecution Service wishes to thank the witnesses for supporting this prosecution.”Williams pictured arriving at court todayCredit: Andrew Price / View Finder Pictures More
