Bernie Ecclestone Bribes Bavaria!
Apparently you can bribe a country to drop a prosecution for bribery against you...
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/m...d-9648030.html Now €100m is gonna smart, even for Ecclestone but buying your way out of trouble appears to be always an option for the rich.

Re: Bernie Ecclestone Bribes Bavaria!
I especially like his suggestion they should use the money to build an F1 circuit.
But yes, this seems like a fantastic bit of law. Jambo

Re: Bernie Ecclestone Bribes Bavaria!
What an irony - you give a nice big wodge of cash, to get you off having given someone a nice big wodge of cash.

Re: Bernie Ecclestone Bribes Bavaria!
One rule for the rich, one for the poor.
Isn't this the way Al Capone operated? Plus he'll make money out of any track he builds in Germany. He is a modern day gangster.

Re: Bernie Ecclestone Bribes Bavaria!
nice to have the cash. i see nothing wrong with it and look at it like an out of court settlement just like insurance companies do.
