Max Mosley wins privacy action against the News of the World in France – video

A French court has ordered the publisher of the News of the World to pay £32,000 in costs and damages after it was found guilty of violating the privacy of the former Formula One boss Max Mosley. The Paris judge ordered News Group Newspapers, the News International subsidiary that published the now defunct Sunday redtop, to pay a €10,000 (£8,585) fine, €7,000 in damages, and €15,000 in legal costs over a 2008 article about Mosley taking part in an orgy it wrongly claimed was Nazi-themed
