While international press reports on potential Axel Springer split and new media structure of European and US media ownership, the company’ Polish subsidiary is facing a demand for payment of €11m penalty from businessman Robert Szustkowski.
Mr. Robert Szustkowski, an international businessman, has called on the Polish branch of Axel Springer to pay a fine which, according to the legal team representing Mr. Szustkowski, is probably the highest penalty that a media publisher may face in Poland.
