Online newspaper “Insajderi” recevied death threats by an owner of a local company that was recently involved in the so-called ‘meat scandal’. The owner did not like the investigative reporting and called Insajderi by saying that he would kill everyone, and in particular the journalist that worked on the investigation.
Authorities in Belgium said that “Veviba” has functioned in unacceptable sanitary conditions and has manipulated the meat content as well as misusing the deadline stamps.
After the article was published, Insajderi received a telephone call from the owner of the company “Euro Ida”, Anton Jupa who threatened the team.
“Problems are very serious. If I would know who the first (journalist) it was, I would not kill him, but I will just chop him in pieces with an ax, and I will chop him and commit a massacre. Remember what I am telling you,” Jupa said in the telephone conversation.
