The Faktograf.hr portal and its journalists became the target of a public lynching, on Sunday, on December 12, initiated by the entrepreneur Nenad Bakic, after which the Faktograf editorial office received various threats.
Nenad Bakic on his Facebook profile rudely attacked Faktograf, on December 10 and 11, making a number of untrue claims and calling on his followers to file lawsuits against the portal and thus initiate organized pressure on this portal. Bakic believes that his freedom of expression has been denied through Faktograf on Facebook and therefore says that he will sue Faktograf, but in his post he also states the following: “I am interested in whether it would be legal to form a fund to finance such lawsuits? It shouldn’t be very complicated – stencil lawsuits on the same topic?” After that, the Faktograf editorial office received a series of messages on Facebook, but also via e-mail in which they were insulted but also threatened.
