War Criminal’s Son Leading Media Empire? The Shocking Truth About Duško Martić!
Social media is on fire! Duško Martić, son of convicted war criminal Milan Martić, is allegedly a director at United Media, the company that owns N1 television and Nova TV in Croatia. How is it possible that the son of a man convicted of war crimes holds a position in media that shapes public opinion?
But wait, it’s not exactly like that!
N1 television and Nova TV quickly denied these claims. Duško Martić is not an employee of N1 nor does he have any influence on the editorial policy of Nova TV. According to available information, he is the head of the intellectual property protection sector at United Media, the largest media company in Southeast Europe. His job is fighting piracy and protecting content, not editing news or running the newsroom.
So why all the fuss?
Milan Martić, his father, was one of the main leaders of the Serbian rebellion in Croatia during the war. After the liberation of Western Slavonia, he ordered the rocket attack on Zagreb, which resulted in the death of seven civilians. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison for war crimes, including persecution, murder, torture, deportation, attacks on civilians, and wanton destruction of civilian areas. He is serving his sentence in Estonia.
Because of these horrific crimes, social media exploded with accusations and conspiracy theories, questioning how the son of such a man works in a media house that has huge influence in Croatia and the region.
What does Duško actually do?
At the Weekend Media Festival, he was presented as the head of the intellectual property protection sector at United Media. He leads activities against piracy, legal investigations, and copyright protection. He is a member of an expert group of lawyers at the EU Intellectual Property Office. So, his role is technical and legal, not political or editorial.
Political tensions and reactions
The Domovinski Pokret (Homeland Movement) reacted sharply, claiming that Duško Martić continues his father’s “Greater Serbian positions” through the media, which they consider one of the most powerful instruments of hybrid warfare today. These accusations further fuel tensions in the region.
Is this a media sensation or a real threat?
The truth is that Duško Martić is not an editor nor does he influence the editorial policy of N1 or Nova TV. However, the fact that the son of a convicted war criminal is employed in a media company with significant influence in the region raises legitimate controversies and questions about ethics and public perception.
Conclusion
This story is a perfect example of how truth can be distorted and how social media can quickly spread misinformation. Still, the fact that a person’s background always triggers emotions, especially in a region with a painful war history, cannot be ignored.
If you thought media are just neutral news carriers, think again! So, what do you think about this controversy? Is it justified for the son of a war criminal to work in a media company, or is this just another conspiracy theory? Drop a comment, let the conversation roll!
