Yes. But the search for the wreckage ended up being bankrolled by private donations, IIRC.
Eventually, Cardiff washed their hands and didn't lift a finger.

I would hope there are also charges pending for football agents, who you would have thought knew something wasn't right
I'm not sure about that last part. A Piper Meridian is a potentially very nice aircraft.Emiliano Sala: Fatal flight organiser David Henderson convicted

I don't know what would be sketchy about it as your can't expect a football agent to know all the regulations around commercial air travel.

Agree I wouldn't expect a football agent to be 'au fait' with all aviation regulations
But the evidence seems to be the agent were using these guys on a regular basis - and given they were moving around 'valuable/important' people I'd be surprised if they hadn't asked basic questions like 'is it legal to carry passengers on this plane' as well as 'is the plane regularly serviced' (evidence seems to be a leaking CO2 pipe into cockpit might have had a bearing on the crash.), are you insured to carry passengers etc
I think all of those things you mention are much better asked of the aviation authorities and regulatory bodies that overlooked these issues and didn't enforce standards.
I know little about the service issues you're referring to, but it's hard for me to believe that an aircraft being operated in a light commercial or charter role isn't serviced very regularly.
