The 33-year-old, now with League One strugglers Leyton Orient, hit headlines around the world when he was arrested at the Knightsbridge store on April 7. However, Metropolitan Police have confirmed that the Italian and a 31-year-old woman also held at the scene, were released after being interviewed. Andrea Dossena (scoring against Real Madrid) will face no further action after being accused of shoplifting . Dossena, whose crowning moment for Liverpool came when he scored the winner against Real Madrid in the Champions League, last turned out for the relegation-fighting Os on April 14 in a 1-0 home loss to Doncaster Rovers. He also netted four days after that strike against Real back in March 2009, lobbing Edwin van der Sar away at Manchester United in a 4-1 win. Dossena, whose signing was seen as something of a coup for Orient, earned around £40,000-a-week at Anfield. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'A 33-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman who were arrested on suspicion of shoplifting were advised on April 10 that they would face no further action.' Dossena signed a short-term contract with League One strugglers Leyton Orient back in November . Sportsmail understands officers accepted Dossena's claims that he had simply forgotten to pay for a couple of items. Dossena has been capped by Italy on 10 occasions and joined the Os from Sunderland for whom he played under Paolo Di Canio and Gus Poyet. He was heralded by Rafa Benitez on arriving on Merseyside from Udinese back in 2008, but made only 13 Premier League starts for the club. Dossena was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting at Harrods in Knightsbridge on April 7 .
