FAZ must pay 1.2 million euros to Boris Becker

In the dispute over unauthorized advertising with Boris Becker's picture, the Munich Regional Court on Wednesday ordered the publisher of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung FAZ to pay the former tennis star 1.2 million euros plus interest. Becker had demanded 2.3 million euros because his picture was shown without his permission on a fictitious front page in the advertising campaign for the launch of the paper.
