A German court Friday, ordered Google to remove all nine images of Max Mosley , former Formula One chief, linking him to a Nazi-themed orgy.

Google has been ordered by a German court to filter nine orgy images of former F1 chief Max Mosley, linking him to a Nazi-themed sex party. Friday's decision followed a similar ruling by a French court in November last year. Like its previous stance on the case, Google said that it would appeal the court's decision. Google has not taken the racy pictures of Mosley but has been dragged in to the legal war for its role as a distributor of the images, according to Reuters.

"The court is of the opinion that the banned pictures of the plaintiff severely violate his private sphere, as they show him active in sexual practices," the court said.

The court ruled that the pictures of Mosley not only violate his privacy, but are also damaging Mosley. As a part of the settlement Google is required to filter the images and pay 1 Euro ($1.40) in damages to Mosley.

"Contrary to some misleading reports, this ruling isn't about 'Internet censorship," Mosley's lawyer Irion Rechtsanwälte, said in a statement, according to PC Mag. "It's about illegal images that Google itself is distributing."

The story first appeared on the front page of the News of the World newspaper that alleged Mosley's participation in a sex session with five prostitutes at a Nazi-themed party in 2008. Mosley acknowledged that he engaged in sexual acts with five women and paid them $4,000, but denied claims of the Nazi-theme.   

The ex-F1 chief was awarded $96,534 in damages for breach-of-privacy by a court in the U.K. in 2008. Later in 2011, the tabloid owner was ordered to pay $48,000 in damages for  circulation of the story via the papers and the web.
