YEP apology to Roman Abramovich


I wonder how much this cost. From today's Yorkshire Evening Post under the heading:
Roman Abramovich: An Apology
"In the Yorkshire Evening Post of June 11th, we reported that a court had been told that Roman Abramovich had threatened to kill Ken Bates.
The allegations were repeated in our online articles.
We now accept that such threats were not made and should not have been published in this manner.
We wish to set the record straight.
We apologise for any distress caused to Mr Abramovich and his family and as a mark of our regret, we have agreed to pay Mr Abramovich substantial damages which he will be donating to charity, as well as his legal costs."
