Berlin: Google and ex-Formula One boss Max Mosley have settled a dispute over images from a sadomasochistic orgy he took part in, the US tech giant and Mosley’s German lawyer said yesterday.

"The dispute is settled to the satisfaction of both sides," said lawyer Tanja Irion over the years-long row in which Mosley had sought to stop the search engine from listing online links to the photos. Irion said Mosley, 75, had commented that "the agreement is confidential... I’m happy and I do not want to jeopardise it".
