Expressen gets lawsuit
Written by tevensso on March 17, 2003 to Marie Fredriksson.
STOCKHOLM - Today, Monday, Marie Fredriksson and her lawyer Leif Silbersky served Expressen the lawsuit that was prepared last week. As previously reported by The Daily Roxette, Expressen’s chief editor Otto Sjöberg is being sued for libel and incorrect information.
The legal definitions are libel or coarse libel, alternatively offence or coarse offence, Silbersky tells aftonbladet.se.
At least one witness will be called, and that is Marie Dimberg, Marie’s manager. “We have received new information that they [Expressen] knew that their information was incorrect even before publishing it,” Leif states.

The www.roxette.nl website claims that Marie herself will be testifying in court.
I really admire her - Expressen went too far and Marie is holding them accountable. Being subjected to media lies is the “un-fun” part of being a celebrity and she handling it very well - she is standing up for what she believes in and making a statement that the media cannot make money at the expense of a person’s personal life and health.
I hope other tabloids are paying attention.

Expressen was sued by a swedish politician Gudrun Schyman too, ´cos they claimed on the cover that she will make a porn movie.
She won and Expressen has to pay for her now.
I am sure that Marie will win too.
