There has been a ruling in the Se & Hør scandal and the sentences has been handed out.

Well, at least Aller, and the editors involved may face civil lawsuits. We can only hope.

ADDED: There have already been consequences for Henrik Qvortrup. He is being sacked from his current job (as a journalist) as a result of being found guilty.
