James Watt claims Emili Ziem provided him with false information ‘for the purpose of causing distress’
The chief executive of the craft beer company BrewDog, James Watt, has brought a private prosecution against a woman who he claims provided false information about who was responsible for “malicious” comments made about him on social media.
In a pre-trial hearing at Westminster magistrates court, lawyers acting for Watt set out the allegations against Emili Ziem, accusing her of fraud and malicious communication.
