Coughlan agrees to tell Ferrari about spy saga

(GMM) Mike Coughlan did not appear in London's High Court on Wednesday after reaching an agreement with Ferrari.

Accused along with his wife Trudy of receiving and trying to copy 780 separate pages of confidential team data, the suspended McLaren chief designer will provide a sworn affidavit to Maranello based Ferrari in exchange for the information not being available to prosecutors in Italy.

Coughlan had been ordered by the High Court to provide the information on Wednesday, but the private agreement led to the cancellation of the scheduled hearing.
