Gordon Ramsay's father-in-law admits hacking chef's computers

Gordon Ramsay's father-in-law and two of his brothers-in-law have admitted hacking computers at the celebrity chef's restaurant and business empire during a time of bitter dispute in the family. Chris Hutcheson and two of his sons - Adam and Chris Jr – pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey on Tuesday to charges of conspiring to cause a computer to access programs and data without authority. Hutcheson's daughter, Orlanda Butland, denied the charge but the prosecution offered no evidence in her case, effectively withdrawing proceedings. In October 2010, Hutcheson was sacked by Ramsay as chief executive of Gordon Ramsay Holdings. The following year the pair ended up in a high court battle, with Ramsay alleging his computers had been hacked and blaming Hutcheson amid claims that emails between Ramsay and Tana had been read by a third party.
