As has been reported in autosport today...

The banker at the centre of the corruption case relating to the sale of Formula 1, has admitted that the allegations he received $56m in bribes from 2006 to 2007 from the sport's commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone were "essentially true"

Gribkowsky has now said that as early as May 2005 Ecclestone had told him that "the practice in Formula 1 is that you scratch my back and I scratch yours"

Bernie replies with..."I'm not surprised" - because he thought it was simply a matter of the German banker trying to seek a lighter jail sentence.

"I suppose he would say that [about receiving bribes], so maybe he gets seven years instead of 14 years," said Ecclestone. "The poor guy has been banged up for 18 months. He would have said anything to save himself. He was going to be locked up whatever happens."

So, who do you believe, i know which one i do?
