Pavlos Joseph [idiot] , 32 , was arrested for entering the England changing room following the side's disappointing goalless draw against Algeria on June 18 .
His lawyer Craig Webster told Cape Town Magistrates' Court that prosecutors had dropped further charges against Joseph after he paid a 750 rand (£65) fine for trespassing .
Last week Joseph's defence team made representations to the Directorate of Public Prosecutions to drop the case .
" The representations were successful ," Webster told Magistrate Grant Engel .
The incident sparked concern about lax security during Africa's first hosting of the month-long tournament . South African police have now charged a British tabloid journalist with helping Joseph gain access to the dressing room .
Police accuse the journalist , Simon Wright [scumbag], from the Sunday Mirror tabloid of orchestrating the incident . The newspaper has denied its reporter was guilty of any wrongdoing .
On Wednesday, Wright
[scumbag], wearing a blue blazer and white shirt , appeared immediately after Joseph's case was dealt with in a special World Cup court .William Booth , Wright's lawyer , said he would also ask the prosecution to drop the case. Wright [scumbag]is charged with attempting to " defeat the ends of justice ".
" My client feels there is no basis (for the criminal case)," Booth said .
The case against Wright , who had to surrender his passport and has to report to Cape Town police station every day , was adjourned to July 7. His bail of 3,000 rand (£260) was extended .
I do hope he gets locked up in a South African prison [maybe Robin Island] for months.
