Because he called ÖVP politician Andreas Hanger an "ass face" in a Facebook comment, a 63-year-old had to answer to the court on Thursday. He agreed with the plaintiff's side on a settlement. In addition to the procedural costs, he has to pay a compensation payment of 1000 euros and has to post an apology video. He had been carried away to the post in a "psychic state of emergency" which makes him "irreally sorry", emphasized his lawyer.
