The German magazine that published a fake AI interview with Michael Schumacher just fired its editor.

In a statement provided to CNN, Die Aktuelle says it has fired its editor-in-chief after running the tabloid for over a decade. Last week, Schumacher’s family threatened to sue the magazine after it claimed it spoke with the F1 legend for the first time since he suffered a brain injury in 2013.
