Choo founder's ex-husband cleared of spying on her

The former husband of Tamara Mellon, the founder of the Jimmy Choo shoe empire, was today found not guilty of hiring a detective agency to hack into her computer. During the trial, at Southwark crown court, in London, Ms Mellon said the US banking heir Matthew Mellon had hired a London-based firm to snoop on her financial transactions during their acrimonious divorce.
Ms Mellon told the jury that her husband - who she said needed nannying through life - had used Active Investigation Services (AIS) to spy on her £185m business empire.
