Ex-Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone will face trial in October 2023 over an alleged failure to declare about \u00a3400m in overseas assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The 91-year-old appeared at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He is charged with a single count of fraud by false representation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ecclestone, who <\/span>denied the allegations in August<\/span><\/a>, is accused of failing to declare a trust in Singapore with a bank account containing funds of around $650m.<\/span><\/p>\n

The charge brought against him in July<\/span><\/a> followed an investigation by HM Revenue and Customs, which said the probe had been “complex and worldwide”, relating to a period between 13 July 2013 and 5 October 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ecclestone is alleged to have disclosed “only a single trust” to tax authorities, one in favour of his daughters, according to the charge read at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in July.<\/span><\/p>\n

The court heard he said he was “not the settler or the beneficiary of any other trust” but the prosecution alleged the businessman acted “with the intention of making a gain for yourself”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Judge Deborah Taylor fixed a trial date for 9 October next year. Prosecutor Alexander Langhorn said the trial would be expected to last six weeks, potentially sitting half days because of the “defendant’s fitness to participate”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ecclestone, who turns 92 later this month, may not be required “to be present throughout”, the judge confirmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
