Mosley sues British tabloid over ‘Nazi’ orgy

Formula One boss Max Mosley has filed a lawsuit in Paris against the British tabloid News of the World over its claims about his part in an alleged Nazi-style sex orgy with five London prostitutes, his lawyer said Wednesday.

The suit against the paper's editor, one of its journalists and its publisher News Group Newspapers accuses them of violating Mosley's privacy and libel, lawyer Philippe Ouakrat told AFP. He said the case could be heard in France because the newspaper is sold here and a video the paper put online of the orgy in March could be seen here. Mosley, 68, whose father led the British fascist party in the 1930s, has vehemently denied any 'Nazi' connotation and is pursuing unlimited damages from the Sunday tabloid at a legal case to be heard in July.

Mosley, who is the head of the International Motoring Federation (FIA), is also suing the tabloid in Britain.

He faces an extraordinary hearing of the FIA's general assembly in Paris on June 3 during which a vote of confidence will be taken. Turkish Press
