Re: Formula 1 boss Ecclestone indicted on bribery charge

Bernie's defence seems a little unorthodox - He's not denying he gave the guy millions, nor is he blatantly claiming it was a shakedown. He said he gave him money to calm him down and not attract a costly and unnecessary UK Customs investigation. :?:

	Quote: Mr Ecclestone denies bribing Gribkowsky, and says the money was intended to stop the banker from exposing him to a UK tax inquiry.

So will our people actually investigate that?
