Edward Fitzgerald QC, who has represented controversial Muslim cleric Abu Hamza and Moors murderer Myra Hindley in the past, has confirmed he is advising Warner and his legal team in Trinidad. (Nice client list there Eddie)
Warner has been indicted by the US justice department on eight counts of football-related corruption and is currently on bail in Trinidad.
Among the charges, he is accused of taking a 10million US dollar (£6.4m) bribe to vote for South Africa to host the 2010 World Cup.
