The Office of the Chief State Prosecutor (DORH) and the Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organised Crime (USKOK) on Friday denied claims that part of former prime minister Ivo Sanader's testimony which was unlawfully uploaded on the online video sharing site YouTube had been downloaded from their servers, adding that their servers are safe and that these agencies do not post video recordings of suspects' testimonies on their servers.
It is a gross lie and an act of delusion of the public that the released footage was on the DORH server, this agency said in response to statements from a group of hackers who call themselves "NullSecurity Croatia" and who have assumed responsibility for posting footage of former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader's testimony, given before anti-corruption investigators on July 21, on YouTube.
NullSecurity Croatia has reported on Facebook and Twitter that it claims responsibility for the release of the footage and advised the Office of the Chief State Prosecutor (DORH) to improve the protection of its server.
The video recordings of the preliminary interrogations are not stored on USKOK servers but only in optical dvd discs, DORH said on its web site today.
DORH recalls that suspects and their lawyers have the right which they exercise to copy files and re-record materials, adding that it is only known to those who firmly claim that materials have been leaked from the prosecutorial authorities, why they make such accusations against the prosecutors.
