After Private Video Leak, Tanja Makarić Seeks Formal Charges Against Longtime Stalker

Her multiple complaints have yet to yield effective protection under Germany’s complex stalking laws.

Overview

  • Makarić went public in late July when an intimate video of her and a football player was leaked and allegedly used by her stalker as part of an extortion attempt.
  • Her alleged stalker, a former friend, reportedly tracked her via fake accounts, sent threatening messages and at times threw stones at her home.
  • She has filed several police reports and worked with victim support group Weißen Ring but has struggled to secure effective legal remedies.
  • Persistent harassment has caused Makarić intense fear and anxiety, making routine activities like shopping or walking feel unsafe.
  • She is awaiting Wuppertal District Court filings to advance her case while online abuse and misinformation continue to compound her ordeal.
