Cikk tartalma röviden
The editor-in-chief of a far-right German media outlet received a seven-month suspended sentence for sharing a manipulated photo of Interior Minister Faeser, who he must apologize to. A megváltozott kép félreértelmezte Faeser üzenetét a nemzetiszocializmus áldozataira emlékezve. A bíróság megállapította, hogy a nézők nem ismerik fel a manipulációt. Faeser a rendőrség riasztása után tett feljelentést, míg Bendels fellebbezést tervez, azt állítva, hogy a poszt szatirikus volt.
