Bogdan Ilić Faces a Criminal Complaint After Fake Arrest Claims Spark Alarm

Bogdan Ilić, the Serbian YouTuber known as Baka Prase, is facing a possible criminal complaint after authorities said claims about his alleged abduction and arrest were false. According to the report, the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade and police looked into posts published on his Instagram account and found that the dramatic story had been invented. The posts reportedly claimed that masked people had taken Ilić and that he had been detained over an alleged connection to Alta Bank. The claims prompted authorities to make inquiries. In his communication with police, Ilić explained that the statements were made as part of a plan to film a new video for his YouTube channel, the report says. Officials are now expected to file a criminal complaint with the prosecutor’s Special Department for Combating High-Tech Crime. The suspected offence is causing panic and disorder, after the claims raised concern and spread among the public, according to the source. The report does not say whether a complaint has already been formally submitted or what action might follow. It does, however, describe a sharp consequence for an online stunt: a story presented as a real abduction and detention drew a response from law enforcement before Ilić reportedly clarified that it was content for a video.
