Tottenham Boss Harry Redknapp has just been cleared of tax evasion charges today by a jury at Southwark Crown Court.
The jury of four women and eight men took five and a half hours to deliberate and returned a unanimous ‘not guilty’ judgement.
Redknapp’s ex-boss Milan Mandaric was also cleared of tax evasion. The charges for both men stemmed from their time as manager and owner of Portsmouth.
Redknapp smiled and then looked over to his son Jamie Redknapp in the public gallery when the jury forewoman stood up to deliver the verdict at 11.35am today on the 13th day of the trial.
The Tottenham boss was then hugged by Mandaric, who sat beside Redknapp in the dock, and the Serbian multi-millionaire drew Redknapp’s head into his shoulder.
Redknapp junior clasped his hands together in relief while Kevin Bond, his father’s long-time friend and No2 on the Spurs coaching staff, smiled in the public gallery.
There were also smiles from a posse of Spurs officials,including directors Darren Eales and Donna Cullen, and League Managers’ Association chief executive Richard Bevan, who have supported Redknapp throughout the majority of the trial.
