A lawyer has made threats to Judge Velimir Lazovic, who sentenced Red Star fan Uros Misic for the attempted murder of a police officer, says daily Blic. The lawyer warned Lazovic to “watch his step or he won’t be re-elected.” "Judge in hooligan trial receiving threats" A source close to the investigation has confirmed what so far have been only suspicions—that the judge who sentenced Misic to 10 years of jail for the attempted murder of police officer Nebojsa Trajkovic in the initial trial, a verdict that was later quashed, has been exposed to serous pressure. “Judge Trajkovic was told that he wouldn’t be re-elected if he gave Misic a stiff sentence. The judge has turned to the authorities who said that they would provide him complete protection. That threat wasn’t made by some hooligan but by a Belgrade lawyer. Judge Lazovic has previously received threats and warnings, so the police and public prosecutor’s office are investigating,” said Blic’s source. Uros Misic (FoNet, archive)
