The court rejected the "absurd claim" Manuel Noriega against Activision

Judge of the Supreme Court of Los Angeles is absolutely expected dismissed the lawsuit against Manuel Noriega Activision. Recall that in July this year, former Panamanian dictator Noriega, who is serving a sentence for crimes against the people of Panama, Activision filed on the court for the use of his name and image in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Noriega was offended by the fact that in the game he appeared in the image of the killer, kidnapper and an enemy of the state. As if that was not really. In September, Activision hired former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani as his representative, who did not fail to immediately call the claim Noriega "absurd", in particular stressing the crimes of the dictator.

After sentencing Giuliani hurried note: "This claim was absurd from the start, and we are satisfied with the fact that the notorious offender failed to win. This victory is significant not only for the series of Call of Duty, but for the entertainment industry worldwide. "

CEO Activision Blizzard Bobby Kotick also celebrates his victory: "Today's decision is a victory for the entire community of 40 million players Call of Duty and global audience who are adherents of historical works of art."
