Basically, they accuse him of an affair but no real evidence. He is taking them to court to stop the rumors. The court will order the Bild not to print such rumors, which basically means he might be having an affair, but they sure can't put that into the papers. The amusing thing is that the Germans got all hyper when most Americans were accusing Bill Clinton of an affair and said who cares? Here in Germany, they actually go to court to prevent such stories from being reported in the first place. Talk about freedoms...the last place you will get freedom of speech is Germany.

That's very true. You only have the freedom and protection to promote communist propaganda and anti-american lies in Germany. The situation in german internet forums is even worse. Sad but very true...

Thank you both for explaining what the paper was saying!

It's pretty terrible that the Germans, who criticized us for exposing Clinton/Monica affair, are taking the paper to court for exposing basically the same thing! I'm sure Das Bild knows more but is prevented from saying so due to this!

Socialists hate freedom of speech, it's proven time and time again.
