Jul.29 (GMM) As Max Mosley's lawyers confirmed the FIA president has launched further legal action against the News of the World, the British scandal newspaper retracted its claim his orgy had a Nazi theme.

Mosley, 68, last week won a privacy lawsuit in the London High Court, following the newspaper's front-page claim he engaged in a "sick Nazi orgy".

But despite defending the Nazi assertions in court, the News International-owned newspaper on Monday agreed with the judge that the claim was proved to be untrue.

According to the news agency Associated Press, News of the World said in a statement that the orgy "was not intended to be, and was not Nazi in character".

Additionally, in a response to the High Court verdict, the News of the World said in a new article: "The judge disagreed with our claim that Mosley engaged in Nazi role-play, although he acknowledged that we had an honest belief that he had."
