Spanish News Site Okdiario Threatens to Sue elDiario.es
Listen to the story
Okdiario is a news website in Spain. It has threatened to sue another website called elDiario.es. Okdiario is angry about a news story. The story was about money paid to a lawyer. The lawyer works for a man named Koldo GarcÃa.
The company that owns Okdiario answered the story. It said the payments were for image rights. Image rights mean money paid to use someone's photo or video. The company said this, not about any other reason.
Koldo GarcÃa is a well-known name in Spanish politics news. He has been part of other news stories before. This new story is about money, not about laws or crimes.
Many Spanish news sites often write about each other. This happens when there is a disagreement about facts. Sometimes one site threatens to go to court. Going to court means asking a judge to decide who is right.
For now, Okdiario has only made a threat. It has not given more details yet. elDiario.es has not said if it will change its story.
