Ecclestone is sentenced to prison

The British judiciary sentenced former Formula One president Bernie Ecclestone to a 17-month suspended prison sentence, after he admitted involvement in charges related to previous tax fraud.

Ecclestone, who will turn 93, admitted to concealing sums of money estimated at approximately four hundred million pounds sterling, kept in a trust fund in Singapore, during his appearance before a court in the British capital, London, where the prosecution accused him of providing incorrect or misleading data to the British tax authorities.
