Prelic’s lawyer Ivan Bajazit does not believe that his client will be extradited to Serbia soon. He told B92 that he would request a retrial. Taton was attacked and beaten by a group of hooligans on September 17, 2009 in downtown Belgrade ahead of the Partizan-Toulouse match. The Frenchman succumbed to his injuries in Belgrade’s Emergency Center on September 29, 2009. The attackers were initially sentenced to 240 years in prison in 2011. Prelic and Dejan Puzigaca were sentenced to 35 and 32 years in prison and Ljubomir Markovic and Ivan Grkovic to 30. Another eight Partizan fans received sentences ranging from 12 to 14 years in prison. The Appellate Court, however, halved their sentences in 2012. A file photo of Brice Taton B92 Tanjug
