The Crime and Corruption Investigation Network (KRIK) received a death threat on its Twitter account.

After they published a story about the police chief who ordered the secret video of Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic’s father to be deleted, a person allegedly named Djordje Pavlovic wrote on Twitter with the account “@ ore05995944” that he would “burn them all and kill them”.

The threat was reported to the Special Prosecutor’s Office for High-Tech Crime.
