Former Liverpool and England defender Jamie Carragher avoids bankruptcy after settling an unpaid tax bill with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), multiple outlets report. The Independent says a judge dismisses the petition against him after the settlement, while BBC Sport and other coverage state that the debt is resolved to prevent a bankruptcy outcome.
Reporting also notes that HMRC had taken steps through a formal bankruptcy petition earlier in the process, with The Mirror describing an August filing and subsequent updates. The Daily Mail and Vanguard, meanwhile, characterize the unpaid amount as potentially very large, with one report citing a figure “of up to £800,000.” Across outlets, the shared focus remains on the court process and the final settlement that removes the immediate risk of bankruptcy.
