Bernie threatens the German press

Suspected of having paid a sum of 50 million dollars to a banker which would have assured him his place as representative of the holders of commercial rights, Bernie Ecclestone formally denied this possibility. The representative of the commercial rights holders of the F1 even threatened newspapers across the Rhine who would pursue their accusations. “If the German newspapers say that I have something to do with these payments, I will take them to court,” he explained to Bild.
