Money can buy anything in this country

What happened?

An Austrian publisher was charged with dangerous threats and defamation after an argument in a cell phone shop in Klagenfurt legally binding sentenced. (the apprentice didn’t want to exchange the foil for free)

The trigger was an argument over a cell phone film in which the publisher (one of the richest Austrians) appeared massively threatening towards an apprentice and made statements like “They are dead“ supposed to have done.

However, the publisher falsely described the incident to the police and claimed that it was been attacked and injured. This representation turned out to be untrue.

The court therefore sentenced him to a fine of almost 100k and particularly criticized the threats and false accusations.

Why does it upset me so much?

This gentleman not only pays guys to prevent his Wikipedia article (I’m quoting one of the editors; iI am an employee of \**** I receive compensation for editing his Wikipedia entry)* is adjusted.
He threatens our media with lawsuits if they publish his name.

These don’t have any balls and they buckle. All mention of the name has now disappeared.

But hey – he is the recipient of various awards from the Republic

and was a guest of honor at the ESC. How embarrassed we are as a nation. Have merit badges, but apprentices thresh.

What do we learn from this – you can really do anything with money *

*I mean we knew it anyway, but I would like to show you again ^^
