Federico Jiménez Losantos has to pay 100,000 Euro compensation to the ex ABC Director, José Antonio Zarzalejos. The presenter says he will appeal.

The morning presenter on the COPE radio station, Federico Jiménez Losantos, has been ordered to pay 100,000 € compensation to the ex Director of the ABC newspaper, José Antonio Zarzalejos, after being found guilty in court of slander. The presenter had launched a torrent of abuse and insults against the defendant over some time on air. The court said the presenter had to read its ruling three times during his programme, and publish it in the three main newspapers in the country at his own expense.

The presenter described the sentence as absurd and said he will appeal. He said his mistake had been not to turn to the courts for all the attacks that he had received over the time, but that when he returns to the air in September he intended to take legal action against all those who are contributing to his 'lynching'.
