Redknapp in the dock

Filed: Monday, 23rd January 2012
By: Staff Writer

Former West Ham United manager Harry Redknapp is in court today to face charges of tax evasion.

Redknapp, now 64, is accused of two counts of tax fraud alongside former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric.

It is alleged that Redknapp, who spent two spells at Portsmouth after he was sacked by West Ham was the recipient of £93,300 paid into a bank account in Monaco by Mandaric in at some point between 2002 and 2007.

Secondly, he is accused of receiving a further sum of £96,000 into the same account at some point between 2004 and 2007.

Redknapp, whose hopes of one day managing the English national team hinge on the outcome of the case has previously denied any wrongdoing.

The former Hammers winger and current Tottenham boss was manager of West Ham between 1994 to 2001, before he was fired by chairman Terry Brown.

Mandaric, who spent time at Leicester after leaving Portsmouth is currently chairman of League One Sheffield Wednesday.

It’s a terrible thing to admit and I don’t know what sort of human being it makes me but I get down on my knees and I pray to whatever God is listening that they come back with a guilty verdict and a custodial sentence……

One is enough for me! Surely they can only report facts and not opinions or supposition?

For sake of abbreviation while evidence coming thick and fast, Redknapp and Mandaric might be R + M, and prosecution shortened to pros

One of the original jurors has had to be discharged from jury so a new jury is now being selected

Potential jurors being given same speech by judge as last time. Any with football prejudices that might impact judgement must declare them

Prosecution case: 'money transfers deliberately and dishonestly paid' by Mandaric and received by Redknapp to 'cheat public revenu

Prosecution say the payments of $295,000 were "bungs or offshore bonuses which parties had no intention of declaring for tax"

ok im going to go with the guardian feed on this

Pros: Redknapp had 'number of contractual bonuses' including 'transfer bonus' based on 'net increase' of player valuation

Entitled to '10 per cent of net profit the club makes' on any player sale Redknapp contract stated, Prosecution say

Pros: talking about Peter Crouh signing from #qprfc but only there a few months before he moved to #avfc on 27/3/2 for £4.5m

£115473 was the 5% profit for Crouch for Redknapp 'doesnt take mathematician to see' be a greater bonus if under 10% terms, Pros say

opened Monaco account not in 'name of Harry Redknapp' but 'Rosie 47' 'appears to combine name of Harry Redknap's dog with' DOB

no obvious reason why account could not be opened in name of Harry Redknapp', rather than Rosie47, Pros claim

-------------------

So what i can w**k out so far
whilst he was director at pompy .. he got 10% of any profit from player sales
then when he became manager that was reduced to 5%
and he has an alleged offshore account in Monaco under the name of Rosie47 cheesey grin

Court back in session Pros continuing, talking about bank statement in Mandaric's name from 2002

145,000 dollars about £100,000 paid into Rosie47 account in Monaco by Mandaric, Pros state

Pros: First Star International Limited in Miami transferred monies to Rosie47. FSIL formed '98, police say, and owned by Mandaric
CORRECTION: Redknapp requested £100000 be moved from Rosie47 to First Star International Limited not the reverse

Until date account closed these were only significant monies put in, Pros state

On 21/4/4, Pros say another 150,000 dollars paid into Rosie47 from trust in Mandaric name

feb 08 Redknapp asked for Rosie47 to be closed and monies transferred to HSBC London acct, Pros state.

Monaco chosen as transactions can be hidden, The Crown allege

Harry #Redknapp investigated by taxman over £300,000 payment from West Ham United over sale of England star Rio Ferdinand, court hears.

Thats it for today.. back again 10am tomorrow

i have not managed to keep up too much with whats been going on this morning

so i stole this from the Beeb

Harry Redknapp did not tell his accountant or bank about an offshore account for years, jurors have heard.

He is accused of receiving secret payments from former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric, 73, while he was manager at the south coast club.

The Tottenham boss only revealed he had the Monaco-based account after being asked by the Premier League's Quest inquiry, Southwark Crown Court heard.

Mr Mandaric and Mr Redknapp, 64, deny charges of cheating the public revenue.

In the opening minutes of the second day of the trial, the jury heard that Mr Redknapp kept his Monaco account a secret from his accountant for four-and-a-half years and from his bank relations manager for five years and eight months.

The court heard that Mr Redknapp told the Quest inquiry into player transfers that he had an accountant who invested the money in his Monaco account for him.

Jurors have heard how Mr Redknapp received a percentage of net profit from transfers during his time at Portsmouth.

Mr Redknapp, the prosecution alleged, said that his accountant told him that his Monaco account had done "not very well" and that half of his investment had been lost.

The prosecution said that Quest later received a letter from Mr Mandaric saying he had opened the Monaco account for Mr Redknapp and invested money there for him.

On Monday, the court was told Mr Redknapp received $295,000 which he had no intention of declaring for tax purposes.

He was paid the "bungs or offshore bonuses" by Mr Mandaric, it was claimed.

Jurors were told secret payments were made to Mr Redknapp's Monaco bank account in the name of his dog.
