In a Tweet, the Lëtzebuerger Land described this case as an “attack on press freedom”.
Simone Retter has opened proceedings against journalist Bernard Thomas over an article published in November 2021, titled “Retter Revisited”, which examined Paul Retter’s career as a real estate promoter up until his death in 1980.
The Lëtzebuerger Land published details of the case on its Twitter page, revealing that Retter was suing for €25,000 in damages. The Tweet also linked to the article in question, which can be found in French below.
