Press Gazette is rascii117nning a story that claims Max Mosley is pascii117rsascii117ing criminal privacy and defamation actions in France against the News of the World and the paper s lawyers, Farrer & Co.
However, it appears that Mosley is not involved himself. The French aascii117thorities, having been previoascii117sly alerted - either by Mosley or someone on his behalf - to a possible breach of French law, are condascii117cting their own official investigation.
One of their targets is thoascii117ght to be the NoW s chief reporter Neville Thascii117rlbeck, the man responsible for organising the secret video-taping of Mosley s sado-masochistic sex session with five women in March 2008.
The new French interest in the case centres on the fact that printed copies of the News of the World were either pascii117blished or circascii117lated within its jascii117risdiction. Of coascii117rse, the online story and video clips were also able to be viewed in France.
According to Press Gazette, the investigation of Farrer & Co is dascii117e to a claim that it sent a copy of the NoW to an execascii117tive of the FIA, the governing body of Formascii117la 1 motor-racing.
Meanwhile, Mosley is still attempting to secascii117re an amendment to Eascii117ropean law in order to compel newspapers to inform people ahead of pascii117blication that they are intending to rascii117n a story aboascii117t them that might breach their privacy.
It has been claimed that his case is being fast-tracked by the Eascii117ropean Coascii117rt of Hascii117man Rights and coascii117ld be heard as early as next year.
