Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp received $295,000 which he had no intention of declaring for tax purposes, a court has heard. Mr Redknapp was paid the "bungs or offshore bonuses" by former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric while he was manager at the club, it was claimed. Jurors were told secret payments were made to Mr Redknapp's Monaco bank account in the name of his dog. Mr Mandaric and Mr Redknapp deny charges of cheating the public revenue. John Black QC opened the prosecution's case at Southwark Crown Court by telling jurors "both parties must have known" they were avoiding taxes. Gotta feel sorry for old melting face.
