Benitez to take action against News of the World.
Rafa Benitez is set to take legal action against ‘News Group Newspapers’ about a story deemed to be defamatory that appeared in the ‘News of the World’ recently.
He is demanding more than a reported £300,000 for a story titled ‘It’s your fault Benitez in new blast at owners’ which was written by well-known journalist Rob Beasley.
The story itself put Benitez in such a dark shadow that the Spaniard took offence immediately. It claimed he had been disloyal to the club and fans and consistantly failing to give reasonable reasons why the club had not won the title since his arrival in 2005.
Benitez says the story has ’seriously injured his reputation’ which has caused him severe embarrassment.
Rafa is taking this case very seriously and is claiming on many fronts for damages, aggravated damages, and an injunction banning repetition of the allegations at the centre of his claim. Benitez is also suing Beasley himself over the story.
