On October 26, 2022, the trial for the criminal offense of fraud against Zoran Čegar, BiH Police Officer, began in Dubrovnik. Journalists from the Center for Investigative Journalism (CIN) approached Čegar in front of the courthouse, where he started insulting them. After the CIN journalist asked Čegar for a comment, he reacted violently and threatened: “Don’t let me rip your throat out!”.
