[Video] Prosecutor rejects the accusation against Jankovic's security guard: Jernejca was supposed to throw herself on the floor

The article reports on a legal case where the local state prosecutor dismissed a criminal complaint against security guard Vahidin Mehmedović, who was accused by Uroš and Simon Jernejc of assault. The prosecutor concluded there was insufficient evidence to support the claim that Mehmedović committed a punishable act. The defense lawyer, Klemen Golob, responded sarcastically, calling the two men liars who had injured themselves. The incident occurred at the C0 channel construction site in Stožice on March 27. According to the police report, the Jernejcs were found on-site with visible injuries, but their account of the event differs significantly from the security guards' version. Uroš claims he was photographing construction equipment and was then physically restrained by Mehmedović, who allegedly hit him and took his phone. He also alleges further abuse during his removal. The article includes a video clip showing Simon Jernejc being dragged to the ground, which the police used to issue payment orders to the Jernejcs. However, the security personnel’s accounts differ from the Jernejcs’ version, indicating conflicting narratives.

The Ljubljana district public prosecutor’s office has dismissed criminal charges against Vahidin Mehmedović, a security guard accused by Uroš and Simon Jernejc of assault. The decision followed a review of the police report, which concluded there was insufficient evidence to support claims that Mehmedović committed a punishable act. The case centers around an alleged incident on March 27 this year at the C0 canal construction site near Stožice. According to police records, the security firm Alpha Protection called the police after two individuals entered a restricted area, causing disturbances and confronting guards. At the scene, officers found Uroš Jernejc and his cousin Simon, who reportedly had visible head injuries. Uroš Jernejc described a different account of events than the one given by the security personnel. He claimed he arrived at his parcel near the Stožica Hippodrome around 7:50 AM and noticed construction equipment and workers. He began photographing the activity before approaching one of the workers to ask who was managing the site and why machinery was on his land. According to his statement, the worker then contacted the security guards, who instructed him to leave the area. Two guards allegedly grabbed him by each arm, and Mehmedović approached and struck him in the face, knocking his phone from his hand. Jernejc said he ended up on the ground with one of the guards holding him while they escorted him toward the exit. He further stated that the violence did not end there. During the escort, Mehmedović allegedly hit him again in the left jaw area, removed his corrective glasses, and struck him in the right eye region. Meanwhile, Simon Jernejc arrived and started recording the incident. When the guards noticed the phone, Mehmedović supposedly grabbed Simon by the hair and pushed him to the ground. Jernejc claimed the guard tried to take his phone, grabbed him by the neck, and choked him. He lost consciousness for approximately a minute, during which time the guards allegedly took his phone and deleted the footage. Security personnel, however, gave a completely different version of events. They described how Uroš Jernejc ignored warnings to leave the secured area and began shouting and resisting. According to their account, the guards attempted to escort him off the premises, but Simon Jernejc broke free, fell to the ground, and then flailed his arms, kicked, and shouted for Uroš to record because the guards were allegedly threatening them. A key issue in the proceedings was the absence of video footage capturing the critical moments of the incident before the police arrived. Later, opposition Ljubljana city council member Aleš Primc submitted a video to the police, but it primarily captured events after the police arrived, not the crucial part of the incident. Uroš Jernejc also provided photographs and recordings taken at the scene. One of these recordings appears to capture Simon Jernejc screaming or yelling, supposedly while being attacked. However, the prosecution deemed these materials insufficient to confirm the brothers' claims. The district public prosecutor's office noted that Uroš Jernejc's assertion that Mehmedović physically assaulted him was unsupported by any evidence. In response to the dismissal of the criminal charges, attorney Klemen Golob sarcastically remarked that Uroš and Simon Jernejc are evidently liars who injured themselves. The case highlights the discrepancy between the accounts provided by the victims and the security personnel, with the lack of direct visual evidence playing a central role in the prosecution's decision to dismiss the charges.

(SCANDAL) The prosecution dismissed the accusation against Jankovic's security guard: Brother Jernejc was supposed to throw himself on the floor

The local state prosecution has dismissed the criminal charges against security guard Vahidin Mehmedović, who was accused by Uroš and Simon Jernejc of assault. The prosecution reviewed police reports and concluded there was insufficient evidence to support the claim that Mehmedović committed a punishable act. Lawyer Klemen Golob responded sarcastically, suggesting the Jernejc brothers fabricated the incident. The case involves an alleged altercation at a construction site near Stožice Hippodrome on March 27. According to the Jernejcs, they were physically assaulted by security guards, including Mehmedović, who allegedly hit them and took their phones. However, security personnel provided conflicting accounts, stating that Uroš Jernejc fell to the ground himself during the encounter.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both the claims made by the Jernejc brothers and the counter-narratives from the security personnel and the prosecution. It does not favor one side over the other but provides the perspectives of all involved parties. There is no evident bias in the language or emphasis, and the

Why factuality (68): The article reports the dismissal of a criminal complaint against security guard Vahidin Mehmedović by the district state prosecutor, based on a police report. It includes details from both the police report and the statements of Uroš and Simon Jernejc, but there is some discrepancy between the acco

Why objectivity (55): The tone leans towards presenting the plaintiffs' version as more credible, especially through the lawyer's sarcastic remark calling them 'liars.' This suggests a slight bias toward the victims' perspective, even though the article attempts to present both sides.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the incident through the perspective of the complainants (Uroš and Simon Jernejc), emphasizing their allegations of physical abuse and suggesting potential misconduct by the security guard. While the legal outcome (dismissal of charges) is presented neutrally, the tone leans left,

Why factuality (68): This article mirrors the first in content, reporting the same legal outcome and including similar details from the police report and the plaintiffs' statements. Like the first article, it lacks a primary source document and relies on cross-source consensus. The information presented aligns closely w

Why objectivity (55): Similar to the first article, this piece has a slightly biased tone when referencing the lawyer's comment, implying the plaintiffs may have lied. Although it presents both sides, the emphasis on the lawyer's reaction suggests a lean toward the victims' narrative.
