On Thursday, a deceptive calm settled over the part of the capital that leans toward Bundesliga club Hertha BSC. It seemed as if the Hertha team were taking a breather after a remarkably dynamic Wednesday. In any case, there was no further official communication on the affair surrounding the Israeli agency Shibumi Strategy, which is said to have run a sneaky campaign against former Hertha President Werner Gegenbauer using secret service methods on behalf of investor Lars Windhorst. But the silence was still filled with the events of the previous day.
