In the opinion of media lawyer Peter Studer, the lawsuit brought by Nef's lawyers for personal injury has a good chance of success. What happened between army chief Roland Nef and his ex-partner is a private matter, Studer told SDA on Thursday. Further lawsuits on the matter are certainly possible. The medium sued, i.e. Blick, must now prove that there was a public cause for its reports on the case. It must also show that it had to assume that the sources it quoted were correct, and it is now up to the court to decide whether the public interest or the private interest of Nef and his ex-partner prevail, the former President of the Swiss Press Council continued. In any case, the central question for him is whether Federal Councillor Samuel Schmid was allowed to bypass the Federal Council as a whole in the criminal proceedings against Nef.
