Defamation Case Bettina wulff aganist Google

Bettina Wulff, the wife of the former German President Christian Wulff, has sued web giant Google in a legal action to stop rumors about her private life.When the name Bettina Wulff is typed into Google's search engine, suggested search terms include the words "prostitute" and "red light district".

Google says the auto-generated text reflects what others are already searching for online.
German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung reported Mrs Wulff had given a sworn declaration denying all allegations relating to prostitution or escort work before her marriage.

Wulff has spent over two years fighting allegations she was once employed as an escort, a German newspaper noted.


“Her lawyers have already issued 34 successful cease-and-desist orders, including one against a prominent German television personality this weekend,” the paper said.

The same paper said a defamation suit was launched against Google last week.
