Spanish football club owner settles Irish High Court action over Amazon Prime showHigh Court reportersA Spanish businessman and the owner of a professional Chilean football club has settled an action in the Irish High Court over an Amazon Prime show about the 2015 Fifa corruption scandal. Dr Jorge Segovia Bonet is the owner of the Chilean soccer club Union Espanola. As part of the settlement, it has been agreed that any alleged offending material would be removed along with any reference to Dr Segovia Bonet. The proceedings were brought by Dr Segovia Bonet and SEK International Institution, a privately run educational organisation associated with a network of international secondary schools of which Dr Segovia Bonet was president, and were against Amazon Digital UK, Amazon Media, Amazon Data Services and Amazon Europe Core. Outside court, Dr Segovia Bonet’s solicitor Paul Tweed said the defamation action in relation to a broadcast on Amazon Prime had taken over four years to be resolved.
