Overview

• Attorney Christian Schertz issued a public letter on Friday asking media outlets to stop publishing paparazzi photos and details from private encounters involving Julia Klöckner and Jörg Pilawa.
• He argued the pair do not have to tolerate publication of images showing purely private moments.
• He emphasized that Klöckner and Pilawa have not commented on the relationship themselves.
• The request calls for respect for the couple’s privacy with explicit reference to protections for their families.
