Max Mosley has once again launched legal proceedings against the News of the World, this time for libel.
Mosley successfully won his breach of privacy action against the tabloid earlier this week. The judged awarded the 68-year-old Ј60,000 in damages.
However, the FIA president is now launching libel proceedings after the News of the World editor claimed that Mosley was a liar for denying the tabloid's accusations that there was a Nazi theme to his orgy with five prostitutes. The court ruled this had not been the case.
A statement issued by Mosley's solicitors said: "Max Mosley has today issued proceedings against the News of the World for libel.
"Following his successful privacy claim, and the attempts by the editor and staff of the News of the World to devalue the outcome of that claim, Mr Mosley will now be pursuing a claim for damages and aggravated damages in relation to the defamatory allegations in the April 6 edition of the News of the World."
