Bernie Ecclestone's trial dropped by German court after his £60m payment is accepted The Formula One boss, 83, has had the proceedings against him dropped today after he made a cash offer to a Munich court, believed to be the largest of its kind. Under German law, a case can be stopped and charges withdrawn if a fine or community work is offered, as long as the “gravity of guilt” does not stand in the way. A move such as this does not presume guilt. Court spokesman, Andrea Titz, said that the evidence thus far meant that “the court did not consider a conviction overwhelmingly likely from the present point of view.” “There was no conclusion on guilt or innocence of the defendant. He is leaving this courtroom a free man,” she added. Independent |
