    Presenting himself as a religious authority and humanitarian, Alen Kotoric used the TikTok profile Hadžija to collect money from followers around the world for months, convincing them they were helping elderly people, single mothers and orphans. Detektor’s journalists show that some of the donated money ended up in betting shops - which Kotoric has admitted - and that a criminal complaint has been filed against him on suspicion of fraud.
