X-Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone to face trial in October 2023 over alleged cheating

Bernie Ecclestone, 91, will face trial for alleged failure to declare about £400m in overseas assets in October 2023.

In August he denied the allegations but failed to declare a trust in Singapore with a bank account with funds of about $650 million.

According to the allegation read out in Magistrates Court, Ecclestone disclosed "only a trust" to tax authorities, one in favor of his daughters.
