Former Secretary General of the Government, Dear Rashkovski, reacts after information was published that he allegedly asked the Court to return his passport, which was confiscated as a measure of securing his presence at the hearings in the "Software" case.

Rashkovski says the news is not true, and such false information was intended to "throw dust on the ongoing trial".

Here is Rashkovski's full reaction:

"Given the fact that false news is spreading about an alleged request for my passport to be returned, which no media outlet supports with fact, but is a simple reproduction of an unnamed source, I think it is necessary to react to such announcements, therefore that they have only one purpose - to throw dust on the ongoing trial.

The media have always been well received by me as interlocutors, so it would be professional in any post related to me to ask for confirmation of my planned post.

Much of the public opinion about the ongoing process is under constant contamination by fake news, in order to create a false image, I ask you for an objective and verified report, if you believe that there are elements that are of public interest.

"But do not let yourself be the catalyst for other people's false news," he wrote in the reaction.
