"The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has authorised the charging of Bernard Charles Ecclestone with fraud by false representation, following a HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) investigation.
Simon York, Director, Fraud Investigation Service (FIS), HMRC, said: “We can confirm that a fraud by false representation charge has been authorised against Bernard Ecclestone. This follows a complex and worldwide criminal investigation by HMRC's Fraud Investigation Service. The criminal charge relates to projected tax liabilities arising from more than £400m of offshore assets which were concealed from HMRC.
“HMRC is on the side of honest taxpayers and we will take tough action wherever we suspect tax fraud. Our message is clear – no one suspected of tax fraud is beyond our reach.
“We remind people to refrain from commentary or sharing of information that could prejudice proceedings in any way. This is now a matter for the courts and we will not be commenting further.”"

At the Monaco GP I was Googling the owners of a row of Superyachts moored opposite the swimming pool. One belonged to Steven Spielberg, one to Stroll snr the other to Bernie. His yacht is called Force Blue, originally bought by Flávio Briatore for £68m and refitted. It was seized by the Italian authorities as part of the fraud case and sold at a closed auction. Bernie managed to buy it for £6.8m - probably less than a 10th of its value.
Bernie wasn’t in Monaco but the yacht was being used by F. Briatore.
