Billionaire Ex-Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone,92, avoids Jail on Fraud
 
[Billionaire ex-Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone
"swerved jail" by pleading guilty to a £400m fraud
and handing over £652m in tax, the Metro says.
The 92-year-old was due to face trial
next month but in a "surprise" hearing at
Southwark crown court, he pleaded guilty to a
single charge of fraud by false representation,
the paper adds.]

Lock him up. People go away for years for much less sums. Saved by his status. Disgusting.

he should have gone to jail. Trying to hide 400 million is obscene. Look what happened to Boris Becker for much less

He's a ****ing billionaire and he still won't part with some money, it's disgusting greed

With prisons being too full for violent criminals, it shouldn't be a priority to lock people up for monetary crimes, they're not a danger to the public.
