Spiess-Hegglin displays Philipp Gut
The Zug sex affair is still rumbling on. As has now become known, Zug cantonal councillor Jolanda Spiess-Hegglin has reported the deputy editor-in-chief of Weltwoche to the Zurich public prosecutor's office for defamation offenses.
She is complaining about an article from last September. It is about a criminal offense against honor, Spiess-Hegglin confirmed to the news agency SDA on Sunday a report of the NZZ am Sonntag. "Whether the criminal offense is rather defamation or defamation, the public prosecutor's office should clarify," said the Zug cantonal councilwoman. Specifically, it is about the article "The fatal consequences of a misstep" published in the weekly newspaper on September 29. There, author Philipp Gut had written, among other things, that Spiess-Hegglin had "planned to falsely accuse" SVP cantonal councilor Markus Hürlimann. In doing so, the author made himself liable to prosecution, said Spiess-Hegglin.
New to the Pirates
The politician has been making headlines for over a year. The morning after the Landammann celebration in December 2014, she went to the hospital with no memory of the previous evening and with abdominal pain, according to her own statements. Her canton council colleague Markus Hürlimann (SVP) then came under suspicion of having made her compliant with knockout drops. Hürlimann had always denied this. There had been a rapprochement, but it had been consensual. Legally, the affair is closed. The criminal proceedings against the SVP politician were dropped last September. Spiess-Hegglin is now a politician with the Pirate Party of Central Switzerland, as she announced a week ago. The former cantonal councilor of the Alternatives/the Greens had declared her party resignation at the end of December. The events around her person had also burdened the party very much, she justified her decision. (SDA)
