A video of an angry father – based on the language he is using, he is probably from one of the republics of the former Yugoslavia – apparently detaining and “taking care of” an illegal migrant by himself, has been circulating on the internet. The migrant allegedly tried to drag the father’s 9-year-old daughter by the hand into the woods to “show her something”.
It seems that the migrant was prevented from doing so just in time. In the video, the father reveals that the migrant is allegedly from Afghanistan and that he had given his daughter a chocolate and five euros before the incident. “We took care of it, and now the police have arrived,” the father says in the video. The incident reportedly took place in Ljubljana, in Vič.
The father then announces that he will take justice into his own hands if the police do not do their job or if “there is no law” in Ljubljana.
The author of the video left no doubt as to the nature of the contact between the “migrant” and his 9-year-old daughter. It was allegedly sexual violence or “paedophilia”. This is also evident from the caption on the video itself.
A police officer is also visible in the video. We have therefore sent press questions to the Ljubljana Police Administration about the incident. We will publish their answers when we receive them.
