With Rickli's help, the Gebührenmonster campaign collected over 140,000 online signatures for a petition to reduce SRG fees. In public, De Weck's arguments are level-headed and consensus-oriented. Behind the scenes, however, he acts much more aggressively, according to Kappeler. According to Tagesanzeiger. ch in an interview with the TA that de Weck had asked him to kill Rickli. He had told him: "I'm bringing Goldbach into play in connection with Ms. Rickli to put you under pressure." If Goldbach did not publicly distance himself from Rickli, he would bring Goldbach into play. "I know there's no connection, but I'm doing it anyway," Kappeler says, echoing de Weck's comments, according to Tagesanzeiger.ch. De Weck did not want to comment on Kappeler's statements to the Tages-Anzeiger. These statements are absurd, SRG spokesperson Daniel Steiner merely said

Court proceedings are complicated and run according to rigid rules with which lay people are not familiar. They are confronted with technical terms that they do not understand. And there is no help from the court, because it is up to the parties to present the facts of the case and the evidence. If a relevant fact or piece of evidence is forgotten, one risks losing the case. In short: As a layman, you are simply overwhelmed with the conduct of a court case.

This is now set to change with the "simplified procedure" introduced with the new Swiss Code of Civil Procedure at the beginning of this year. The new procedure applies, among other things, to disputes over claims of up to CHF 30,000 and is intended to enable laypersons to obtain justice themselves.

How does this procedure actually work? First, you have to go to the conciliation board. If no agreement is reached there, the conciliator issues a so-called authorization to sue. With this, you can file a lawsuit with the court within three months. In principle, the court at the defendant's place of residence or registered office has jurisdiction.

The complaint does not have to be substantiated in writing. It is sufficient, for example, to write: "X owes me 8000 francs, but denies this. I want it back, in addition X should pay the court costs and pay me compensation."

The court first checks various formal requirements - for example, its jurisdiction - and then decides whether to accept the claim at all.

Subsequently, the court will request an advance payment from the plaintiff for the presumed court costs. The amount of the court costs is determined by each canton itself. For example, if the amount in dispute is CHF 8,000, the court fee in the canton of Zurich is around CHF 1,500. If the advance payment is made, the court summons the parties to the hearing. At the hearing, the parties each have two opportunities to speak. It is important that all statements of the opponent that are not true are disputed, otherwise they are considered to be correct.

After the hearing, the court usually informs the parties of its assessment of the chances of litigation and submits a settlement proposal. This can be accepted or rejected. If no settlement is reached, the court must examine the evidence if relevant allegations have been disputed. Once the so-called taking of evidence has been completed, the parties are given another opportunity to comment. The court then passes judgment. If you do not agree with the decision, you can take it to the next court.

Even if you win the case, you do not automatically get your money. If the defendant does not pay voluntarily, a debt collection procedure must be initiated against him at the debt collection office at his place of residence.

At around 683 million dollars, News Corporation earned around 22% less in the fourth quarter than in the same quarter of the previous year. However, both results were above market expectations. One of the main reasons for the slump in profits were costs of around 254 million dollars due to the favorable sale of Myspace. The wiretapping scandal of the now defunct tabloid News of the World had no financial consequences for the other business divisions, Murdoch emphasized. In addition to the Times of London and the Wall Street Journal, the Group also owns the film studio 20th Century Fox and the Fox television chain. In Europe, the pay-TV channel Sky is also part of the group.

With the help of Natalie Rickli, Aktion Gebührenmonster collected over 140,000 online signatures for a petition to reduce SRG fees. SRG Director Roger de Weck argues in public in a level-headed manner, seeking consensus. Behind the scenes, however, de Weck is acting much more aggressively, according to Klaus Kappeler, CEO of Goldbach Media and thus Natalie Rickli's employer. According to Tagesanzeiger.ch, Kappeler states in a separate interview with TA that de Weck had demanded that Rickli be killed. He had told him, "I bring Goldbach into play in connection with Ms. Rickli to put you under pressure." If Goldbach did not publicly distance himself from Rickli, he said, he would bring Goldbach into play. "I know there's no connection, but I'm doing it anyway," Kappeler reproduces de Weck's remarks, according to Tagesanzeiger.ch.

Goldbach Media markets, among other things, the Swiss advertising windows of foreign private broadcasters and has an interest in the largest possible and free electronic media market in Switzerland. However, this market is dominated by SRG and its subsidiary Publisuisse as the marketer. By claiming that Rickli is only politically implementing what her employer demands of her out of economic-political interest, one can undermine her credibility as a fighter for lower fees.

Roger de Weck did not want to comment on Kappeler's statements to the Tages-Anzeiger. These statements were absurd, said SRG spokesman Daniel Steiner only.

The Swiss Syndicate of Media Professionals SSM has been in a Opinion commented on this. The communiqué in the wording:

"Goldbach Media CEO Klaus Kappeler criticizes SRG Director General Roger de Weck for wanting to know in February (!) what the company thought of the anti-SRG campaigns of her manager wife Natalie Rickli. Kappeler criticizes SRG for putting Goldbach Media and Rickli under pressure. The SSM considers this absurd! The SVP politician Natalie Rickli attacks the SRG hard again and again and wants to weaken the broadcasting company massively. That is her political right. But Rickli is also professionally active in the media sector at the company Goldbach Media. There, she is not just any employee, but a member of the management of Goldbach Media in a management function. Goldbach Media markets advertising for major competitors (SAT 1, Pro 7, RTL) of SRG and would therefore benefit from a weakening of SRG. It is nothing but understandable and logical for the SRG director general to want to know from Goldbach Media what the company's position is on the anti-SRG statements made by its executive Rickli. Kappeler's late complaint looks like well-timed election campaigning by Natalie Rickli. The SSM demands that the media company Goldbach Media say where it stands on the media policy attacks against SRG by its executive Rickli."
