Croatia's Slaven Bilic Becomes Murderer in Italy

Text

The Italian newspaper 24 Minuti used a photo of Croatian trainer Slaven Bilic to illustrate the news on Macedonian reporter murderer.

ZAGREB, CROATIA - The Italian newspaper 24 Minuti wrongly illustrated a text on the suicide of the Macedonian murderer reporter, Vlado Tanevski, with a photograph of the Croatian football trainer Slaven Bilic. The mentioned newspaper is issued three times a day and is for free. 

Beneath the photograph of the Croatian coach there is a text which confirms that the the man in the picture is the Macedonian murderer from the newspaper Utrinski Vensnik, where the criminal worked.

The picture, however, was downloaded from the Croatian site Jutarnji.hr, and shows Slaven Bilic after the game against Turkey. The mistake was probably made because the Macedonian work ‘utrinski’ and the Croatian ‘jutarnji’ have the same meaning (of the morning), and probably journalists, graphics and editors have not been following the European football championship.
