The club's fitness coach Rui Faria was pictured holding a hand to his ear under a woolly hat before passing hand-written notes to assistant managers Baltemar Brito and Steve Clarke during last night's 4-2 Champions League quarter-final win.
To add to the intrigue, goalkeeping coach Silvino Louro repeatedly disappeared down the Stamford Bridge tunnel before returning with advice for his colleagues.
UEFA were sufficiently concerned to send officials Hans Hultman and Fritz Ahlstrom to approach the Chelsea bench at the start of the second-half, after which Faria mysteriously removed his hat.
But UEFA said today they would not be taking the matter any further.
Media officer Hans Hultman said: "From UEFA's point of view everything is okay. We heard about the pictures and had a look in the second half but there's nothing to investigate. Chelsea have done nothing wrong and the suspension has been fulfiled."
Mourinho admitted using sophisticated equipment to contact the touchline when he was banned from Porto's UEFA Cup semifinal against Lazio two years ago, but Brito insists there was no communication with Mourinho during last night's game.
He said: "There was not contact at all. We prepared for this game last week and the last time I saw Jose was two or three hours before kick-off. I have not spoken to him or seen him since.
"It was quite tough without him on the bench. His presence is very important for us and he was sorely missed. What happened to Jose was unjust and we're not happy."
Joe Cole added: "There were no instructions passed on that I know of and we prepared well in the week to do the job. It was a bit different without the manager but it wouldn't be a punishment if it wasn't."
