Harry Redknapp cleared of tax evasion © Reuters/Finbarr Reilly Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has been cleared of dodging tax on the deposit in his Monaco account, Rosie 47. Jurors accepted Redknapp's angry denials that he avoided tax on any payments over £189,000 found in the account. Milan Mandaric and former Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie were also cleared of £600,000 tax dodge claims at a previous trial, it can be reported for the first time. Mandaric and Redknapp embraced in the dock as the verdicts were read out on Wednesday, after five hours of deliberations, with the football manager immediately leaving the court. Judge Anthony Leonard made no comment other than to discharge the jury. The Tottenham Hotspur manager's hopes of leading the England team received a major boost as he walked free from court. His acquittal marks a disastrous end of a five-year £8 million inquiry into football corruption by tax authorities and City of London Police.
