SRF falls for fake expert at Royal Wedding
The so-called expert Thomas J. Mace Archer-Mills was interviewed by numerous media outlets in connection with the Royal Wedding. Even SRF fell for the con artist's scheme.
Actually, the interviewee's name is Thomas Muscatello and he is not British, but American. He has put together the stage name from parts of the names of friends, like 20 minutes on Friday about the unveiling of the Wall Street Journals writes.
As the portal knows, the supposed nobility expert has already appeared on SRF for the second time. The TV station is annoyed by the fact that it was taken in by an impostor. Muscatello appeared very professionally and with a great deal of knowledge, SRF spokesman Stefan Wyss told 20 Minuten. In the future, they want to look even more closely. As an immediate measure, the online contributions will be taken offline and a corrective will be published. (hae)
