Payout for Greek put on Turkish-style yoghurtA 77-year-old Greek man has received more than £110,000 in compensation after a Swedish dairy used his picture on a Turkish-recipe yoghurt pot, the dairy said Wednesday. AFP Published: 3:00PM BST 14 Jul 2010 A Greek man has received compensation after a Swedish dairy used his picture on a Turkish-recipe yoghurt pot. Photo: AP Athens and Ankara have been divided by long-standing hostilities and the Greek man took legal action after discovering his photo had been used without his consent as the face of a popular Turkish-style yoghurt brand. "We reached an agreement and everything has been signed by all parties. We can use his picture on all of our products, including on the Turkish yoghurt," the purchase manager for the Lindahl dairy, Tomas Axelsson, told AFP. With a long greying moustache and red hat, the man's photo features on pots of Lindahl Turkish-style yoghurt, a popular product in Sweden and is available in most supermarkets. A Greek friend living in Stockholm alerted the man - named by Swedish media as Minas Karatzoglis - to the fact that his image was on the offending containers earlier this year. The unwilling model immediately demanded some €5m in compensation, on the grounds that he lives in Greece and has no links to Turkey. The dairy, which is based in Joenkoeping, central Sweden, said the claim came as a shock and that it had bought the photograph in good faith from an image library. www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/7890198/Payout-for-Greek-put-on-Turkish-style-yoghurt.html
