Christian Schertz
Strategic Concepts & Mechanics
Primary Evidence
"With this fashionable gibberish, he seems to want to distract from the fact that with the partial acquisition of the Krone, he primarily wants to buy power and social prestige. In conversations with journalists, he talks about how important press freedom is to him and that it must be protected against attacks from the outside, only to later, when things get critical for him, unleash well-known media lawyers on them beforehand. The authors of this book have also had experiences with Benko's lawyers in the past. Top professionals in the field like to work for him, such as Berlin media lawyer Christian Schertz. Instead of responding to specific questions, Schertz sent the note that the questions "almost invariably contain false assumptions and numbers" – a popular, albeit rarely successful, method of deterrence."
