Who was that chap, Italian PM was it, that was suspected of possible corruption? When in Rome etc. ;)
Nope, I'm not suggesting anything here, that's your job reader......
Well there is a lot to choose from! (Italian PM's) Silvio Berlusconi was the latest!Quote:

We would be extremely surprised if the review of the documentation reveals anything which has not already been disclosed as a result of the extensive investigations already carried out.
Or how do the McCheats that the police didn't already start to review the materials?!
Why would the Police want to advertise themselves? :dizzy:Quote:
"McLaren Racing believes that due process needs to be respected and that the conduct of an investigation process should not be construed adversely or used for publicity purposes.
Get real people, McLaren are nailed and are making waves in a vain attempt to make the Italian police to be seen as the bad guys who are whipping poor ol Ronnie boy.
They tried the same move against Ferrari but failed miserably and had to concede that they were dirty players.
Bye bye Ron! :wave:
Is it possible that this can be 'debated' on here without resorting to the 'funny' nicknames for certain teams and individuals?
No one seemed offended when N.Jones was calling MS funny nicknames!Quote:

I found that equally tiresome, and have said so on here.Quote:

In fact, the statement - made by Italy's Postal and Communications Police - clearly says that the evidence obtained in the McLaren searches will be examined by the Surrey Police along with Italian investigators in the next few days.
The statement does claim, though, that information already obtained by Italian investigators throughout this investigation - that is, prior to the searches at McLaren - have already given clear indication of McLaren's responsibilities in this case.
The statement says: "In the following days British detectives, with the collaboration of Postal and Communications Police investigators, will complete the inquest activities requested by the Italian Magistrate and will begin analysing the documents and the digital material mentioned above, with the aim of finding possible traces of the crimes concerned in the investigation.
"Such findings will be added to vast circumstantial and factual evidence already collected in the criminal investigation coordinated by the Modena Attorney, which shows clearly the responsibility of the management and some technicians at a high level in McLaren for the occurrence of 'industrial espionage' against team Ferrari, as well as for the matter of having taken advantage - both from a business and sporting level - of the data and information regarding both the design of the car that contested in the 2007 Formula One World Championship, and the race and qualifying strategies of the Italian team."
Maybe not. But that is not the issue.Quote:

In case it has passed you by, Mclaren have broken the law.
