Jimmy Choo boss’s ex cleared of hacking plot

AMERICAN oil and banking heir Matthew Mellon yesterday expressed his relief after he was cleared of illegally being involved with a private detective agency which tried to hack into his ex-wife’s emails.

The 43-year-old multi-millionaire, who faced almost certain jail had the verdict gone against him, bowed his head as he learned his nightmare was finally at an end in London’s Southwark Crown Court.

His former wife Tamara, the Jimmy Choo shoe empress, said she was delighted at the verdict too.
