Former Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has been charged with fraud. He is alleged to have failed to declare more than 400 million pounds (473,000,000 euros) in assets to the British tax authorities.
Charged with fraud
The Crown Prosecution Service says Ecclestone is facing a charge of fraud by false representation. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) prosecutes criminal cases investigated by the police and other investigative bodies in England and Wales.
"This follows a complex and global criminal investigation by HMRC's Fraud Investigation Service," Simon York is quoted as saying by Press agency Reuters. The first hearing of the case is scheduled for 22 August in London.
Ecclestone's negative press in the news
Ecclestone has been in the news frequently over the past few weeks. At the end of June he said that he would 'take a bullet for Russian president Vladimir Putin' and he directly defended Nelson Piquet Sr, who had made racist comments about Lewis Hamilton.
Bernie is a BOLLARD!
Thinly veiled racist from the old white boy's club.
Not feeling any sympathy for him, whatsoever.
I hope that auld racist thief I hope he gets the jail he's one dodgy creep
It has and will never end up well for anyone who harbors evil intentions in their hearts for others. Bernie, this is just the beginning, more to come.
Yeah finally caught the senile biltong little prick. Reminds me of Mugabe this old fart.
Tax Dodger.....not paying his fair share.....its Bernie after all...expected somewhat....
What an idiot. Always had too much to say for himself, always over opinionated. Basically should keep his big mouth shut but it's all catching up with him now and is likely to keep him company in his 6' X 4' room gratis Her Magesty.
Díme con quien andas y te dire quien eres!
“You are, the company you keep!”
Wonder if he and Randy Andy flew on Epstein’s jet together??
THIS is what happens when you speak against your own country and openly support a DICTATOR!
Slava Ukraine
Now his Putler loving comments make even more sense.
Nothing more than just a little corrupt person with Napoleon syndrome, loving another corrupt little man with Napoleon syndrome.
This is what happens when you don't mind your business and retire disgracefully, instead of coming out here talking about taking bullets for Putin.
The end for babbling Bernie - without his reputation he is a nothing.....
