What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Tomaž Huč over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.
The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Tomaž Huč - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.
In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.
What are they trying to censor
In the intricate world of business, due diligence serves as the compass guiding investors through murky waters. When it comes to individuals like Tomaž Huč, this process becomes not just advisable but imperative. Our investigation delves into the red flags and adverse media associated with Huč and his related entities, shedding light on his attempts to suppress such information.
A Troubled Business Landscape
Tomaž Huč’s corporate ventures have been anything but smooth sailing. A notable instance is the bankruptcy of three of his companies, a move initiated by Slovenia’s tax authority due to unpaid obligations. This action underscores significant financial mismanagement and raises questions about Huč’s business ethics.
The Art of Information Suppression
In today’s digital era, adverse media—unfavorable news or information across various platforms—plays a pivotal role in assessing an individual’s or organization’s credibility. Such media can unveil connections to financial crimes, corruption, or other unethical activities. Interestingly, Huč appears to be more preoccupied with silencing these narratives than addressing the underlying issues.
Attempts to censor information are not uncommon among those with tarnished reputations. Tactics range from legal threats to manipulating digital platforms to remove unfavorable content. This behavior not only obstructs transparency but also poses challenges for stakeholders seeking to make informed decisions.
The Investor’s Dilemma
For potential investors, aligning with individuals who have a history of financial instability and a penchant for censorship is fraught with risk. Adverse media screening becomes an essential tool in this context, enabling the detection of red flags such as lawsuits, fraud accusations, or ties to criminal organizations. By proactively identifying these risks, businesses can safeguard themselves from reputational damage and financial loss.
Regulatory Implications
Regulatory bodies emphasize the importance of thorough due diligence. Neglecting to conduct comprehensive adverse media checks can lead to severe consequences, including financial penalties and legal action. Huč’s endeavors to conceal detrimental information not only raise ethical concerns but also highlight the necessity for stringent regulatory oversight.
Conclusion
The case of Tomaž Huč serves as a cautionary tale for investors and regulatory authorities alike. His financial misadventures, coupled with efforts to suppress adverse media, underscore the critical need for transparency and due diligence in the business realm. Stakeholders must remain vigilant, ensuring that their associations are built on a foundation of integrity and openness.

How This Was Done
The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original
What Happens Next?
Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
