Nenad Kulačin, co-author of the “Good, Bad, Evil” podcast, was once again exposed to offensive messages sent via the social network Facebook.

The disputed messages were sent by the same person. Some of the threatening messages Kulačin received read: “Crko, God bless you as soon as possible” and “You’ll get a round, boy.” Among the comments was a photo of threatening graffiti written in the entrance of the building where journalist and university professor Dinko Gruhonjić lives.

Due to the existence of grounds for suspicion that the author of the messages committed the criminal offense of Endangering Security and/or the criminal offense of Persecution, NUNS immediately reported the case to the Special Prosecutor’s Office for High- Tech Crime.
