Did Köppel pay two million for Weltwoche?
Roger Köppel is said to have paid only two million for *Die Weltwoche*. This is according to the newspaper *Der Sonntag*. Until now, the sale price had regularly been estimated at over ten million francs.
The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung still quoted this amount on Saturday. But this is wrong, it says in Sonntag. According to a source involved in the sale, Köppel was able to buy the paper from Tito Tettamanti for two million francs, although the value was estimated at around 20 million francs at the time. Köppel had been able to raise half of the amount himself. For the other half, he had taken out a bank loan. Köppel neither confirmed nor denied this account to the Sonntagspublikation.
