Isle of Man based businessman Doug Barrowman has been cleared of any wrongdoing following a Spanish embezzlement and tax fraud trial.

Mr Barrowman and six other British businessmen had been on trial on charges linked to a 2008 cable factory purchase.

They have now been acquitted of all charges by three judges in Spain.

Mr Barrowman had been warned he faced up to five-and-a-half years in prison if convicted.
