Redknapp Cleared

Originally posted by Churchill View PostNo they won't, nobody will be hauled over the coals for bringing the Redknapp case. You forget that HMRC have a bottomless purse, the public's!
The trials into alleged tax dodging - one of which involved football manager Harry Redknapp - have cost under £1.3m so far, HM Revenue & Customs says.
HMRC told the BBC that rumours it had spent £8m on the case were "nonsense".
It said the costs of investigations into Mr Redknapp, Milan Mandaric and Peter Storrie cost less than £300,000 while Crown Prosecution Service costs were almost £1m.
All three have been cleared of tax evasion at two trials.
"The fact is it has cost us less than £300,000 and whilst we would rather have won the case, the important thing was to get the facts in front of a jury - and that has happened," said a spokesman for the tax authorities.
And this is the problem - they think £1.3m is small money. Of course it is when it is not theirs.Comment
