Prinz hit the headlines in 2010 when Focus magazine reported on April 26, 2010 that Prinz had worked for the Czech secret service. Prince successfully sued the report; the Cologne Regional Court issued an injunction against the reporting. In a “memo” (editorial) by the deputy editor-in-chief of Focus Markus Krischer from September 2012, Focus reported that after the judgment of a Prague court, the relevant documents were forged by former members of the Czech secret service. The editorial staff and the publisher would regret the inaccurate reporting.
