Police in Macedonia have detained the owner of a private television station that is critical of the government for questioning about alleged tax fraud worth (EURO)4.1 million ($5.4 million).
Velija Ramkovski was led into court in handcuffs by masked policemen, after being detained along with 16 executives from his companies, including private A1 television.
Authorities say none of those being held has been arrested or charged.
Ramkovski called his detention a “dictatorial action,” arguing that he was being unfairly targeted by the country’s conservative government.
Police and tax officials raided the television station’s headquarters last month and seized documents.
