"In light of what Mr Catzavelos has submitted, his personal circumstances and current financial situation, we feel a payment plan would be the best option."Jones says paying the money in installments does not mean that Catzavelos is off the hook.
"It is still not a final settlement. It is something we have offered to them, but we will still meet prior to the next court appearance."
Catzavelos made the racist comment while on holiday in Greece.
