Scottish Elises

So, Bernie has acquired a "get out of jail for free" card.... (well not that free really). Case inconclusive, but I guess his payment is as good as an admission of guilt.

Have to see the irony in his "pay off" on the bribery case.

Technically the payment means he's neither guilty nor innocent

Strange legal system the Germans have.

Bizarre. So I wonder how large the payment would need to have been to persuade him to continue with this 'tiresome bore' and not just make this small withdrawal from his petty cash??

…or his this been the Ron Dennis nest egg Max put away in 2007 for one of Bernie's inevitable rainy days?!

He has been going to Court twice a week since April, so £60m out of £4.3 billion is well worth it to him, he gets a closed case, and the German Treasury gets the money less £1m to Charity.

I assume everyone else loves the irony of paying money to avoid prosecution on a bribery charge?

You almost couldn't make this up

Quite surprised me that this could happen in Germany,... in Italy, yes, but Germany???
