Bernie Ecclestone's trial for bribery has been dissolved after the F1 chief agreed to pay a £60m settlement with state prosecutors.

You literally cannot make this shit up.


The guy is being done for bribery, and then 'settles' (bribes) the prosecutors with £60 million?

Irony much?

If it's not already obvious that money makes you above the law, this should leave no doubt. Absolutely ludicrous.

£60m is probably nothing in comparison to what he gained as a result of his activities.

To a billionaire £60m is chump change, especially considering he'll make multiple times that this f1 season alone most likely.

Bernie is a disgrace, and so is the German system of injustice that let him off.

[Napoléon]

Yeah this is loose change for him.

The thing is, the guy he bribed in the first place is in prison for 8 years for taking the money. But Bernie, who actually gave it to him? He can buy his way out of a prison sentence? Corrupt system is corrupt.

Outstanding..

I think he's learned his lesson now

Wow... I should totally see if I can't work for him. I'd love to have a few million thrown my way.
