GermanyThe former defense minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg has successfully obtained a retraction from the magazine 'Bunte,' which must publish his counterstatement on its next cover. The magazine had previously published a headline claiming that Guttenberg and Minister Katherina Reiche were ending their relationship. Although 'Bunte' later retracted this claim, stating they remained a couple, the court ruled that the initial headline was a false factual statement rather than an opinion.
