Mosley calls for press tribunal at Leveson inquiry

A wealthy businessman who sued after a tabloid made allegations about his involvement in a “sick Nazi orgy” called today for the creation of a press tribunal with powers to fine a newspaper group up to 10% of its turnover.

Former Formula 1 boss Max Mosley told an inquiry into journalistic ethics that the tribunal should be underpinned by statute and given power to deal with “privacy, defamation, media harassment and accuracy”.
