Eric Neugeboren

   WASHINGTON - Police in Slovakia are investigating after Peter Sabo, a
   reporter for the news outlet'¯Aktuality,'¯found a bullet in
   his'¯mailbox.

   The threat against Sabo comes just over two years after the February
   2018 murder of Slovak journalist'¯Ján'¯Kuciak, who worked for the same
   outlet.

   Sabo joined'¯Aktuality'¯a few months'¯after the killing,'¯to
   help'¯continue'¯Kuciak's'¯investigations.'¯Sabo'¯had recently reported
   on international tax fraud and drug crimes.'¯'¯

   The outlet condemned the threat in an [1]editorial published
   in'¯the'¯Slovakian-language outlet'¯on June 26.'¯

   "I would very much like to believe that it was a joke of a child, but
   after the experience of more than two years ago, I know that if it is
   not a joke, it can kill,"'¯wrote'¯Aktuality'¯editor-in-chief
   Peter'¯Bárdy. "If they think they will intimidate us, they are
   wrong."'¯
