Mosley writes to FIA club Presidents

NEWS STORY
31/07/2008

FIA President Max Mosley has today sent the following letter to all the FIA club Presidents:

Dear President

Further to my letters of 1 April and 16 May and the General Assembly of 3 June, you may have gathered that the English High Court found conclusively in my favour. The judge gave a very clear decision that the "Nazi" allegation had no basis in fact and was quite simply invented by the newspaper. The court thus fully confirmed Mr Scrivener's report to the General Assembly. The judge also awarded record damages for a case of this kind. When the damages arrive, my lawyers will send them, as promised, straight to the FIA Foundation.

As you may know, although what the newspaper did is a civil matter in England, it is criminal in other countries, notably France, Germany and Italy. A complaint has been made to the relevant public authorities and I anticipate action in the near future. In each case it is possible to join a civil complaint to the criminal proceedings and my lawyers intend to do this. Again, any damages recovered will be given to a suitable charity.

Once more I should like to say how sorry I am for the annoyance and embarrassment this matter has caused. I hope that, ultimately, bringing to justice those responsible will mitigate the effects and, above all, deter others from such gross invasions of privacy.

Thank you very much for your support and understanding in what has been a difficult time.

Yours sincerely

Max Mosley
