London - Police are no longer investigating singer Amy Winehouse on suspicion of attempting to interfere with a court case involving her husband, her spokesman said on Friday.

Winehouse is no longer required to return to a police station for further questioning, her spokesperson Chris Goodman said in a statement.

"Amy is pleased to be discounted from the investigation and thanks the police for their professionalism in their dealings with her," the statement said.

Winehouse was arrested in December after being called to a police station.

At the time, she was released on police bail and had been asked to return at a later date for further questioning.

Police said they cannot identify former suspects by name, but they did confirm that prosecutors planned to take no further action against a 24-year-old arrested in December on suspicion of trying to pervert the course of justice.

Meanwhile, her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, appeared in a London court on Friday on charges of attacking a pub landlord and then later conspiring with him to withdraw as a witness at the trial.

Fielder-Civil spoke only to confirm his name and plead not guilty. He is due to appear again in April.

Winehouse did not attend court because she was in Paris to perform at a Louis Vuitton party, her spokesperson said.
