He's not bribing them. It's a part of German law that he can make an offer.

I wonder if the case being held in Germany has anything to do with the German law that states you can pay for your crime with cash?

This just proves that if you're rich then you can do pretty much whatever you like with impunity - as least it would appear that way.

£60m is nothing to a billionaire, he probably loses that in the back of his sofa

Yep whilst the German banker he bribed is currently serving 8 years for his part. Ecclestone buying his freedom with £60m makes an utter joke of the judicial system.
