<b><i>Online Extra:</b></i> British Billionaire's Suit Over Alleged Leak Offers First Test of Privacy Law
Gilbert Chagoury's story has all the elements of an international political thriller. Chagoury, a British billionaire and philanthropist who has given millions of dollars to the Clinton Global Initiative, was denied a visa last year to enter the United States because, according to the U.S. government, he was suspected of supporting terrorism.
Chagoury denies the allegation, saying the U.S. Department of State relied on bad intelligence. And now he's suing federal agencies that he claims leaked information about him to a reporter.'His suit'is thought to be the first case brought under the Judicial Redress Act, which President Barack Obama signed in February, and could test whether the privacy measure has much bite. The law gives citizens of the European Union the right to file lawsuits in U.S. courts against federal agencies for alleged Privacy Act violations.
According to Chagoury's suit, filed on Sept. 15 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, news coverage about the visa issue led banks to refuse to do business with him.
