Bernie Ecclestone in ‘frail health' after pleading guilty to tax charges

Ex-Formula 1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone has pleaded guilty to fraud, in a hearing which took place Thursday morning in Southwark crown court, London. The 92-year-old had been under investigation for not declaring to the UK government £400 million worth of overseas assets, something he originally pleaded not guilty to during a court hearing in June at Westminster Magistrates Court. However, his plea changed on Thursday after informing the judge that 'I plead guilty'.
