Press release regarding the Stalzer case: WBS.LEGAL is the designated contact for journalists' inquiries and demands protection of privacy.

We hereby inform you that we represent the legal interests of Iris Stalzer/Herdecke.

Ms. Stalzer was elected mayor of Herdecke in the last local elections and was seriously injured by her adopted daughter.

This incident has been and continues to be extensively reported in the media.

We have found that the reporting on this incident partially exceeds the limits of what is permissible under press law by reporting details from inviolable areas of privacy, asserting false facts, apparently passing on unfiltered information from security circles to the public, or even mentioning the real names of the minor children.

We expect you to adhere to the fundamental principles of press law in your reporting. This means, in particular, respecting the absolutely protected privacy and personal sphere of our client's family and complying with journalistic standards of due diligence.

We will assert any legal violations caused by the reporting on behalf of our client.

For reporting and journalist inquiries, please contact our law firm exclusively at renate.schmid@wbs.legal
