Ecclestone prevails in $140M lawsuit over 2005 Formula One share sale
UK Judge Guy Newey ruled in court today that German media company Constantin Medien AG, the holding company of Chief Executive Officer Bernie Ecclestone's Formula One, did not lose out on a 2005 share sale to a private equity firm. Ecclestone was accused of bribing a German banker to ensure the sale of the shares would go to a favored buyer, Bloomberg said.
