SVP National Councillor sues Blick

SVP National Councillor Hans Kaufmann feels his honor has been violated by the media in connection with the Swissfirst affair. In the next few days, he will be filing a lawsuit against three newspapers, one of which is Blick.  
As reported by Bilanz on Friday, the still furious businessman considers the reporting to be damaging to his reputation. "Blick lied, twice", the financial newspaper quotes the politician as saying. The defamation by the media caused material damage to the financial market specialist. By his own account, the former Swissfirst board member has lost two mandates completely and two others have been suspended. Kaufmann will therefore also demand compensation in addition to the criminal charges.
 
Blick does not wish to comment on the matter. It is not yet known which other two media outlets the SVP business specialist intends to sue. The three-month deadline for filing the criminal complaint expires in November.
