Max Mosley in storm over racist leaflet
Max Mosley is facing questions about whether he lied to the High Court after the discovery of a racist political leaflet published in his name.
The 1961 document links leprosy, venereal disease and tuberculosis to “coloured immigration” and argues that Jamaicans should be sent back home.
Mr Mosley, the former Formula One boss turned press reform campaigner, was questioned about the leaflets during his 2008 High Court privacy case against the News of the World.
