An investigation into a serious assault on a police officer has taken a surprising turn, media report. Sources high within the Serbian police (MUP) have revealed for the daily Politika that the background of the Sunday attack on a Gendarmerie inspector that is now qualified by the MUP as attempted murder, includes ties between the clubs and the criminal underworld. Police investigate ties between FA, Red Star, and mafia Three people are held in custody suspected of taking part in the Red Star stadium riot, including the 19-year old Uros Misic, arrested yesterday. Police say they identified Misic as the person who inflicted serious injuries on Nebojsa Trajkovic's head and neck, when he repeatedly hit the officer with a lit flare. But now, police say they believe there may be links between Red Star FC management, leaders of supporter groups, who often engage in violence, and drug dealers. The MUP source told the daily there was reason to believe Sunday's violence was a "welcoming" for Red Star's new president, Toplica Spasojevic, who replaced Dragan Stojkovic, a.k.a. Piksi. Piksi, a former Serbian football star, is suspected of being behind the unrest. Police also say the club employees bring flares and other illegal pyrotechnics into the stadium several days in advance and distributes them to fans on the match day. Starting Tuesday, MUP has begun checking financial reports of clubs and the Football Association of Serbia. Inspectors investigating corporate crime are unofficially said to be engaged in checking documents related to multi-million transfer deals, many of which have apparently been mediated by well-known criminal figures. In this context, the MUP source quoted by the newspaper as "reliable", also made a connection between FA president Zvezdan Terzic and Branislav Micunovic, dubbed "the king of Montenegrin underworld", who is believed to have a hand in most of illegal dealings in Serbian football. Officially, the police have confirmed inspections, but would not reveal any details in the interest of the ongoing investigation. Tip of the iceberg?
