Bernie Ecclestone has reportedly agreed a deal with German prosecutors to end a high-profile corruption case brought against the Formula 1 supremo.

According to Suddeutsche Zeitung, the 83-year-old agreed a €100m [£79.8m] settlement on Saturday which will see all charges dropped.

The report also claims that witnesses due to give evidence in Munich on Friday were told not to attend court.
