Additional information:

The locks to the door at the entrance of Zurman’s flat were filled with glue or construction foam, which prevented him accessing the flat. Shortly before the incident, the journalist received unofficial information that his phone was tapped. The editorial board links this to the publication of material about the planting of drugs on transport by police belonging to the Western specialised department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
