A member of the Rothschild family is suing the city of Vienna, accusing it of "perpetuating" Nazi laws by plundering the Jewish banking family's foundation, media reports said Saturday.

The Financial Times reported that the dispute -- over the long-forgotten charitable trust set up to provide psychiatric help -- is one of the largest-ever restitution claims by Nazi regime victims' descendants.
Austria's Kurier daily and Profil magazine carried similar reports on the case, for which a Vienna district court hearing has been set on February 20.
