Williams driver BBE19, must appear in court after being sued by the media. A court date has not yet been set, but sources say he will miss a race in 2025.
The Latvian driver received the lawsuit in the mail on Sunday afternoon, after he was pictured writing several derogatory words against the media and journalists.
-The guy is against a free press, free media, and probably would rather the world were like North Korea and Russia, stated the editor of the 1251 News Channel.
When BBE has to appear in court has not yet been decided, but jury selection will already start on Monday this week, so much suggests that the case has the highest priority. In the queue to get a court date, you can find both school shooters and neo-Nazis, but the media reports that BBE has been placed in the queue as this is a case that involves so many people.
If he is found guilty, he is likely to have to pay a gigantic sum in Latvian standards, of just under 10 euros. The compensation will cover legal costs and psychological help for journalists who have fallen into a depressive mindset following BBE’s comments.
