Ex-Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has pleaded guilty to fraud at Southwark Crown Court after failing to declare more than £400 million of overseas assets to the government.
The charge against the 92-year-old was authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in July last year following an investigation by Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
He was photographed arriving at court wearing a three-piece suit and grey tie. Speaking in court, he said: "I plead guilty".
On July 7 2015, the billionaire failed to declare a trust in Singapore with a bank account containing around 650 million US dollars, worth about £400 million at the time.
The charge stated Ecclestone, who has three grown-up daughters, Deborah, Tamara and Petra, and a young son, Ace, had "established only a single trust, that being one in favour of your daughters and other than the trust established for your daughters you were not the settlor nor beneficiary of any trust in or outside the UK".
Before his guilty plea, he had been due to face trial in November on the single fraud charge.
