Somebody was bound to bring it up

The general secretary of the Czech Automobile Association, Radovan Novak, has accused Ron Dennis, in a Prague radio interview, of bringing the Max Mosley scandal to public attention. Max who is currently suing the news of the world tabloid, has not commented on the accusation, however when the scandal broke in March he had said "I understand that over the last two weeks or so, a covert investigation of my private life and background has been undertaken by a group specialising in such things, for reasons and clients unknown." Ron has responded to Radovan's comments saying "I categorically deny that I have anything to do with the News of the World investigation into Mr Mosley. We are writing to Mr Novak and are currently considering the appropriate route via which the remarks that have been attributed to him may be withdrawn or corrected." Hardly surprising Ron has been accused of setting him up after the events of 2007 and the spygate controversy, but it's hard to imagine Ron would be foolish enough to do something on this scale to embarrass Max. The Czech has issued a further statement saying "It's definitely one of the possibilities every intelligent person has to consider. But maybe Mr. Mosley already knows who is behind it." Max will face an FIA vote of confidence in Paris on June 3rd but whatever happens, it is unlikely we have heard the last from Ron Dennis about the scandal.
