Hidden camera: SF moves judgments forward
Swiss Television is appealing the Zurich District Court's rulings against Ueli Haldimann, who was the SF editor-in-chief at the time, and four other defendants to the Higher Regional Court. The rulings concerned the use of a hidden camera.
As SF spokesman David Affentranger told SDA on Thursday, the appeal was filed as a precautionary measure. It is quite possible that those responsible will waive their right to a higher court ruling after all. A ruling is currently still pending at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg on a similar SF case. The defense lawyer had demanded acquittals for all defendants.
The judgment now being appealed concerned images taken in the practice of cosmetic surgeons. The editors of "Kassensturz" wanted to show that the risk information provided to patients was inadequate in some cases. Two cosmetic surgeons and a practice assistant filed a complaint.
