Several edited videos have appeared on social networks, directly mentioning the names of journalists from Fokus.ba and Raport.ba portals who discovered the “Respirators” affair and wrote about it, publishing their photos in a very negative context and presenting a thesis about their alleged affiliation with certain politicians and political parties.

The case was reported to the Department for the fight against computer crime of the Federal Police Directorate, which is investigating this crime, as well as to the Ministry of the Interior of Sarajevo Canton.
