Vienna, 13/01/2018
The South East Europe Media Organisation (SEEMO) condemned the actions of a Serbian politician and member of the government who sued the investigative journalism network KRIK.
The politican decided to sue KRIK for revealing information alleging he owns offshore companies and assets with the estimated worth of 100 million USD.
Krik reported these findings based on information revealed in the Paradise Papers, after a data leak from a law firm based in Bermuda.
SEEMO is a network of editors, media executives and leading journalists in South, East and Central Europe and its press freedom work is supported by the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF) project, as part of a grant by the European Commission.
