Bernie Ecclestone has confirmed that he has been in contact with State Prosecutors in Munich in relation to the Gerhard Gribkowsky affair.
The former banker is being investigated over an alleged bribe related to the sale of the F1 Group to CVC in 2006.
In a statement sent to the media, Ecclestone said: “I have been cooperating with the State Prosecution Office’s investigation of the affairs of Dr Gribkowsky since the outset. When I was informed that there was a first suspicion in relation to my perceived involvement in the matter, I went to see the Senior State Prosecutor and her team in Munich earlier this month to clear up any allegations against me.
“I am confident that when the full facts have been established, I will be exonerated of blame for any wrongdoing.”

Translation: I’ve paid off some more folks, and I’m happy as a Frenchman who’s just invented a pair of self-removing trousers… 😆
