light pat on the wrist, then?
He will pay his tax then get it back in some tax relief or such like.
I stopped F1 dead when they had that shambolic season with Hamilton and Verstappen. Where they took turns to bend the rules for them, just so fans would not get bored. All in part to keep the Saudi's happy.
I would have liked to have see him beaten Schumacher's record just for the kudos. But even then I could see that they (the FIA) were taking the piss and manufacturing results in that season.
Still doesn't beat my biggest disappointment in F1. My wife and I did 5 Silverstones and a trip to Milan and never once saw a British winner. Monza has to have been the biggest kick in the teeth. Hamilton won the previous races there. It looked like his strongest race. He managed pole yet again. A shocking start which he never recovered from left him out of the running.
The prosecutor seems quite friendly
It was only $650m, easy to forget who the beneficiary is /s
Hey he can't be expected to know about the location of all his billions. And he keeps his records in an old notebook under his mattress. Not like any accountants or financial experts were involved.
