Harry Redknapp – the manager of Tottenham Hotspur football club – has been found not guilty of tax evasion in a case at Southwark Crown Court.
The manager had been accused of hiding £189,000 in a Monaco bank account to avoid paying tax.
He stood trial alongside Milan Mandaric, his former boss and now chairman of Sheffield Wednesday.
The prosecution alleged that Mandaric had paid the money into Redknapp's account to avoid tax on a payment the manager was due following the sale of footballer Peter Crouch.
The jury found both defendants not guilty after they successfully argued that the money was a personal gift.
