CIN winning an EU Investigative Journalism Award

The story by a CIN reporter about a Sarajevan judge who appropriated real estate of departed persons through fake property litigations won the third prize for the best investigative story in BiH.

“Judge Fazlagić disinherited victims of Holocaust”, a story by Azhar Kalamujić, a CIN [Center for Investigative Reporting] reporter from Sarajevo won the third prize for the best investigative story in 2019.

Judge Fazlagić Disinherited Holocaust Victims
Houses, apartments and business premises of Sarajevo Jews who died in the Holocaust were transferred to new owners, thanks to the illegal rulings of a judge who, in the same way, appropriated two properties in the narrowest part of the city.

The first prize went to the BIRN editor-in-chief and reporter, Semir Mujkić, for the series of articles about the Russian influence on the Balkans, while the second prize went to Amarildo Gutić, a Žurnal reporter, for his story “Ring around Vitezit”.

The EU Investigative Journalism Award is awarded each year in six countries of the Western Balkans and Turkey. It promotes the outstanding achievements of investigative reporters, and contributes to better visibility of quality investigative journalism.
