Housewife threatened Blick employee
A woman from eastern Switzerland made serious threats against *Blick* journalists and Ringier executives. The reason: She was jealous of the naked women shown in the publication.
As the Sonntagszeitung writes in its current issue, the 51-year-old threatened journalists, the editor-in-chief and Ringier's publishing cadre with "blood-dripping violent fantasies" by mail over a period of two years. She demanded that "no more women with naked breasts" be published in Blick - otherwise, for example, the editor-in-chief at the time would "find himself with his throat cut in some landfill site.
The woman's absurd anger was also directly directed at the women in the "Star of the Day" column - readers who allow themselves to be photographed in erotic poses. The 2012 "Girl of the Year," a then 19-year-old woman, was threatened with death if she showed herself naked in the newspaper again. Advertisers of the newspaper also felt the hatred of the woman. She threatened a sex store with "terrible bloodshed among the staff" if "such advertising" continued to appear in Blick. To another sex store she announced "a bomb attack on your store".
After extensive investigations, the police were finally able to track down the sender. The "resolution" sounds like something out of a bad movie: The Swiss woman was jealous because her husband was interested in the naked women in the newspaper. She confessed and regrets the threats. On October 27, she was sentenced to a conditional fine. (hae/sz)
