If reporting about President Wulff does not please Wulff, he takes action: His telephone intervention with "Bild.de" - newspaper was thereby obviously not the first case, in which he pressured journalists.

Oliver Michalsky, deputy editor-in-chief of welt.de, reported now via Facebook and Google+ of an incident in the past summer: "Because of this article 2011 a colleague were by the way forced to the residency( Bellevue), where the Federal President menaced personally unpleasant consequences" in the case of a publication.

Story is about the half sister Bettina Mertschat Wulff. It was published on 26 June 2011 despite Wulff's calls. Christian Wulff and Mertschat Wulff have the same father, but different mothers. Rudolf and Dagmar Wulff, parents of the President, had themselves divorced after few years. Rudolf Wulff got married 2 Marlene Mertschat, a servant in his bar "Union Klause" ,half his age, and still got another child - Bettina Mertschat Wulff. Mertschat Wulff was born illegitimately and did not know for many years , who her father is. Wulff mentioned his half sister in no biography. Michalsky assumes that the private exposures were unpleasant. " In order to prevent a publication, the Office of the President of the Federal republic substantially intervened - not only with the editor-in-chief, but also in highest ranks of the publishing house .
