We Have Expanded the Asset Detector with MEPs and Several Mayors

We have published the asset data of MEPs, new government officials and MPs, and the first six mayors in the new edition of the Asset Detector. The mayors were selected through a public vote, but not everyone was thrilled with the outcome. The Municipality of Ljutomer namely reported Oštro to the Specialized State Prosecutor’s Office and the Information Commissioner.

State Supervisor for Personal Data Protection Targets Independent Journalism

Domestic and international journalism organizations have responded to the proceedings against Oštro brought by the Information Commissioner’s Office and the District State Prosecutor’s Office in Murska Sobota, which they view as politically motivated pressure on journalistic work. Oštro will present the Asset Detector website where we collect data on the assets of politicians, today, December 18, at a public editorial meeting in Velenje.
