Mosley sues for €1.5m over Bild sex orgy reports

MOTOR racing boss Max Mosley has sued the publisher of Germany’s largest newspaper, contending his sex play with several prostitutes did not have a Nazi theme.

The suit is similar to the case Mosley won over a British tabloid this week.

In the new lawsuit, Mosley is demanding €1 million in damages from the Bild newspaper, and €500,000 from its online edition, for their text, photo and video reports on Mosley’s sadomasochistic orgy in March.

Mosley, 68, won a privacy invasion lawsuit on Thursday over the claim by News of the World that his sex games had Nazi overtones. High Court judge David Eady ruled the British tabloid must pay Mosley £60,000 (€76,000) in damages, plus legal costs.

Mosley’s legal costs are estimated at £450,000 (€570,000). The newspaper must also pay its own legal costs of about £400,000 (€506,700).

Mosley acknowledges the encounter with prostitutes.
