The date of the meeting that will decide whether or not
Max Mosley will remain in his position as President of the FIA has been released.
In a statement from the sport's world governing body, it was confirmed that the FIA Senate will meet in Paris at the beginning of June to discuss the future of their beleagured president. There have been numerous calls for the 67-year-old's resignation since the
News of the World published its front page exposé on his participation in a five-hour, £2,500 orgy with five prostitutes close to his London home.
Mosley has thus far resisted all pressure to stand down – insisting what he did was ‘harmless and completely legal', whilst at the same time fiercely rebutting any suggestions of ‘Nazi connotations to the role-playing involved – but should the Senate produce a vote of ‘no confidence' in his ability to rule the sport, he will be faced with no option other than to resign.
The statement read:
‘The FIA can confirm that the members of the Senate have unanimously approved the proposal of the President of the
FIA, that further to the recent press coverage relating to his private life, an Extraordinary General Assembly should be convened.
‘The meeting will be held on June 3, 2008, in Paris. The General Assembly will include a vote of confidence by secret ballot.'
