SINGAPORE (Bloomberg): Singapore worked closely with the UK to investigate and prosecute Formula One mogul Bernie Ecclestone, according to a written reply to parliamentary questions by Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

Ecclestone pleaded not guilty in June to a criminal fraud charge for failing to tell British authorities about assets held in a Singapore bank of around US$650 million.
