Harry Redknapp cleared of tax evasion

Harry Redknapp has been cleared of evading tax on payments made to his Monaco bank account.

The Tottenham boss had denied accepting secret untaxed bonus payments from former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric, while he was club manager.

Mr Mandaric was also cleared of two charges of cheating the public revenue.

Jurors rejected prosecution claims the money was a bonus for selling Peter Crouch and beating Manchester United.

Mr Redknapp and Mr Mandaric embraced in the dock as the verdicts were read after five hours of deliberations.

Mr Mandaric walked up to Det Insp Dave Manley to shake his hand and said "Thank you".

Outside court, Mr Mandaric said: "I have to try and pinch myself and wake up from the horrible dream.

'Get reputation back'

"I always believed in the truth and also believed in the British justice system."

It can also now be reported that Mr Mandaric and Peter Storrie, Portsmouth's former chief executive, were cleared of tax evasion charges at a separate trial last October.

They were both accused of evading tax over player Eyal Berkovics's termination fee.

Mr Storrie was also accused of dodging tax on a signing-on fee to midfielder Amdy Faye when he moved from Auxerre to Portsmouth.

Mr Storrie, who is now allowed to speak about his trial, told BBC News: "We said from day one that it [the case] was farcical.

"I am delighted we've been proved completely innocent and I can get my reputation back."

During Mr Redknapp's and Mr Mandaric's trial, jurors heard the Spurs boss received two payments totalling £189,000, into his "Rosie 47" account in Monaco - named after his pet dog.

The defence said the money was an investment made by Mr Mandaric while Mr Redknapp said he forgot about the account and had very little to do with it.

The prosecution claimed the first payment of £93,100 was a bonus for selling striker Crouch for £3.25m profit.

The court heard Mr Redknapp's cut of transfer profits was reduced from 10% to 5% when he moved from being Portsmouth's director of football to manager in March 2002 but Mr Redknapp told jurors he felt he was was "morally" due the full 10%.

Mr Mandaric said he "wanted to do something special for Harry" but he denied it was compensation for his Crouch bonus and said it was an investment for a "friend".

During the trial, Mr Redknapp admitted lying to News of the World reporter Rob Beasley about the alleged Crouch payment because he did not want negative stories ahead of a cup final.

'Nothing sinister'

Mr Redknapp said: "I have to tell police the truth, not Mr Beasley - he's a News of the World reporter."

It was claimed the second payment of £96,300 was a bonus for Portsmouth beating Manchester United.

But Mr Mandaric's barrister, Lord MacDonald, described the accusation as "really desperate stuff".

He said there was "nothing even slightly sinister" about the actions.

Chris Martins, from HM Revenue and Customs, said outside court: "Tax evasion is not a victim-less crime.

"We have no regrets about pursuing this case, it was vitally important the facts were put in front of a jury. We accept the verdicts."

Off to England job now .bad news for us

but Spurs should qualify for next Seasons CL, so what would Harry prefer?? CL or Managing England?? England job is boring but pays well, but Harry is near retirement age, so its hard to say what he'll do.

if harry takes the england job at the end of the season and we get jose ill be so happy.

imagine the players he will attract. imagine him playing the big sides away he wont be happy if we lose.

maybe he will bring ronaldo with him

Who on the present management staff is happy when we lose? Don't be so wet.

LOOOOOOOOOOL

Love it Lought

I see Arry has been on this morning " I have not thought about the England job"

Arry it is telling lies to journalists that got you into a lot of trouble last time !

Harry reckons he may find the England job too taxing

if harry does get it, it will open the door for excuses from the likes of modric and perhaps bale to want to leave. the vultures will be circling overhead already. im worried already. hope this doesnt affect the teams performances now with all the focus on harry will he wont he, its gonna be a real distraction from getting the job done on the pitch. typical of our luck as always just as its going great a bloody spanner is chucked in the machine.
