Greek man wins £175,000 over Turkish yoghurt picture

 

A Greek man has received compensation after a Swedish dairy used his picture on a Turkish-recipe yoghurt pot.
The 77-year-old man, who was angry at being portrayed as a Turk, the traditional national enemy of Greeks, originally demanded £4.5 million in damages for the use, without permission, of his image.

His photograph, with distinctive long moustache, red hat and traditional Greek dress, has been used on millions of yoghurt tubs marketed as a Turkish-style product.
