In a piece played by Lorenz Keizer and the book that goes with it, "Der Erreger", Cotti is associated with money laundering . The book was already occupied by a super provisional available when the author at Viktor Giacobbo in the satirical program Viktors late show was a guest and the topic was reheated. The UBI agreed with the politician that the program violated the requirement of fairness in satirical programs. The super-provisional injunction against the piece and the author remained in force for five years until the trial was unsuccessful.
