The former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone faces criminal prosecution for fraud after being accused of hiding almost half a billion dollars worth of overseas assets from the British taxman.
Andrew Penhale, head of fraud investigations for the Crown Prosecution Service, said the 91-year-old faced a charge of “fraud by false representation in respect of his failure to declare to HMRC the existence of assets held overseas believed to be worth in excess of £400 million .
” The charge follows a “complex and worldwide” investigation by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs —the British tax office. Ecclestone, whose wealth is put at more than $4 billion by, made his money after pioneering the sale of TV rights in motorsport. In 2014, Ecclestone paid a $100 million settlement to end a bribery case in a German court that had revolved around a family trust owned by Ecclestone’s ex-wife.
