So How Does That Work?

Bernie Ecclestone on trial for bribery, gets to pay £60 million for the case to be dropped? I take it that's not bribery then?

 

[AWheating]

hes a crook. hes dodged hundreds of millions in taxes so 60 wont really bother him to much.

 

[mountainman]

He's going into politics next I hear.

its the same as paying for a speed awareness course rather than getting 3 points on your licence or paying a perking ticket in 14 days, its all about the money

What I don't get is the man is a billionaire. So why didn't he just pay 60million quid before it even got to court and no one would have batted an eye lid. Tight arsed twit. I wonder if brundle will get to question him about and what his answer will be.

He's such a weasel too, how he's got to the place he's in is crazy.

I see him as more of a slug than a weasel.

Can't stand him and Briatore for what they done to my beloved club, hope he chokes on his syrup

Think it was a smart move by german lawyers.
Ecclestones billions...and his lawyers would have tied this case up for years...costing manymillions..and probbly case being dropped or no proven.
They scored £60mill . Granted morally the dwarf should hae been jailed...but think getting some cash is best result.
Hope its used wisely
