Redknapp questioned by cops over "corruption"
June 2, 2009
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has been questioned by police as "a mere formality" as part of the investigation into alleged corruption in English football.
It is understood the 62-year-old was questioned by City of London Police officers and tax investigators.
The long-running investigation has focused on a number of transfer deals at Redknapp's former club Portsmouth and at Birmingham.
A spokesman for Spurs said: "It was a mere formality in respect of next stage information relating to a tax issue."
Both City of London Police and HM Revenue and Customs refused to comment.
Last May, Redknapp and his wife were awarded £1,000 damages against the City of London Police after High Court judges held that officers who raided their home as part of the inquiry were acting unlawfully.
Redknapp spoke at the time of his "bitter disappointment" at the way the arrest was handled, saying he believed he had only been arrested because he was a "high-profile" figure.

Tax issue ?
I'm guessing the club's sorted out the tax arrangements on his earnings. Are they saying he's been earning more than his payslip says ?

Nah, more like Del Boy.

JAMIE: Flippin' foreigners!
'ARRY: Flippin' foreigners!
LOUISE: I quite like Japanese people. They buy my records. Or they used to, anyway.

'ARRY: Whoever he is, he sounds a bit 'simple' to me.
JAMIE: Anyway, why were you at the police station?
'Arry: Good question, son. I suppose it was because I was English! That's what this country has flippin' come to! "Evening all - 'ere, allo allo allo, are you English? Born and bred? Come wiv me, pervert!" That sort of thing.
JAMIE: I bet Cappelo wasn't there. Or Benitez. I bet neither of them had a stripy outfit on and a ball and chain round their flippin' ankle!

If they have evidence he received monies that werent declared, such as brown paper envelopes, they'd do him for tax evasion, cos it's undeclared income. Whether it was related to transfers has fuck all to do with the Police, but whether it's declared for tax purposes most certainly dpoes matter to the Police & HMRC's dept set up to prosecute those they cant stick charges on otherwise.
It's exactly the same principle as Al Capone actually, a Scouse 'businessman' got 25 years last year for tax evasion 7 over 5million in assets confiscated. They knew he was dealing, but he'd set up that money shell companies & distanced himself from the dodgy bit so much they couldn't prosecute, so they did him for tax evasion. You can say it's from business all you want, but if you've not paid the tax on your earnings, illegal or not, you go to jail.

It's sad that you get more time inside for dodging tax than you do for murdering kids.

Yep, any financial crime seems to be treated more harshly than a violent crime nowadays. A sad reflection on our societies priorities, & not lacking in poignant irony.
That said what I'm referring to is simply using a different means of getting a gangster or drug dealer off the street. It's not the same thing. I figure if someone steals money from a bank at night & no-one is hurt in any way then why on earth they get such long sentences is beyond me.
