Borer wins again against Blick

Ringier is once again paying compensation to former Swiss Ambassador Thomas Borer. This is because the *Blick* reported in March that there had been a police operation at the Borer-Fielding residence in Thalwil.

The parties agreed on the payment in an out-of-court settlement. Ringier Switzerland spokesman Stefan Hackh confirmed a corresponding report to the news agency SDA on Tuesday, which will appear in the German weekly newspaper Die Zeit on Wednesday. However, he did not provide any information about the amount of the payment or other details of the agreement.
Ringier had already fallen out with Borer once before: in 2002, Sonntagsblick reported on an alleged affair between the then Swiss ambassador in Berlin and a make-up artist. The Zurich-based media company apologized and paid compensation.
