Harry Redknapp to stand trial for cheating revenue

Harry Redknapp and former Portsmouth football club chairman Milan Mandaric will stand trial at southwark Crown Court on 23 January 2012.  The two count indictment alleges that Mandaric and Redknapp arranged for Mandaric to make payments to an account held by Redknapp in Monacco with an intent to defraud the revenue.  The payments are alleged to have been made between 2002 and 2007 and represent undeclared income relating to Mr Redknapp's employment as manager of Portsmouth Football Club.  Redknapp was charged in January 2010.  A reporting restriction on the case has been lifted today.
