August 21, 2009
(IPI) A temporary court injunction has been slapped on Slovene daily newspaper Dnevnik, preventing it from reporting on an alleged corruption controversy. The newspaper faces heavy financial penalties if it breaches the vaguely worded court order.
The injunction, imposed on 6 August, relates to articles printed in Dnevnik on 29 July in which the newspaper cited an Italian newspaper and other web-based material suggesting the involvement in corruption of an Italian businessman.
