Ecclestone has sent a letter to the Supreme court of new York

In November last year, we were told that an American company Bluewaters Communications Holdings showed the the Bernie Ecclestone and related companies claim to $ 650 million. It then again it was about the bribe received by Gerhard Gribkowsky: according to the American plaintiffs, if it is not, it is Bluewaters could become the owner of Formula 1.
The lawsuit was filed in new York court, and the defendants are Ecclestone, his Alpha Prema, Alpha and Delta Topco Topco, the Fund CVC Capital Partners, and Gerhard Gribkowsky and even Bayerische Landesbank.
However, the head of management of the Formula 1 rejects all litigation claims Bluewaters on the mere ground that he never lived in the United States and, accordingly, it cannot be applied U.S. law.
As you know, Ecclestone is a British citizen living in London, and in America it happens exclusively in cases when involved in negotiations about racing. In the past together with his family, he also visited Las Vegas, and since 2005, he has been in the U.S. five times - this is Bernie officially informed a new York court in a written statement. In the States he has no property, he does not lease offices and has no hired employees, with the exception of attorneys representing their interests in a U.S. court. In addition, none of the events is associated with the claim Bluewaters, did not occur in the United States.
"Various events underlying the claims did not occur in new York and not in the U.S. and in Europe and the middle East" - quoted by Bloomberg statement Ecclestone, addressed to the Supreme court of new York.
In addition, he says that $44 million , translated on account of Gerhard Gribkowsky that courts tend to interpret as a bribe, in General, were not associated with the sale of the securities of the Formula 1 investment Fund CVC, and was a "pay for silence" German banker, who threatened to share with the tax authorities in the UK specific information about family business Ecclestone.
"I was worried that the false information that he was going to hand over to the authorities, could be taken seriously, and they could show me tax claims many hundreds of millions, if not billions of pounds, although I believed that nothing was due. All this could result in my bankruptcy," says Ecclestone in his letter.
The future will show, whether the new York court explanations of the head of management of Formula 1, or stand on the side of the company Bluewaters. It remains to recall that certain claims against Ecclestone also have judicial authorities in Germany and the UK.
