Radar’s editors received several threatening and disturbing messages in comments on the portal.

One of the messages threatens a scenario similar to the attack on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo – a crime in which terrorists killed ten employees of this newsroom and two police officers, and wounded 11 others:

“Let me remind you that Charlie also made such cartoons, don’t whine later when their fate catches up with them.”

All threats were reported to the Special Prosecutor’s Office for VTK.
