Will the world's No. 1 racket player, tennis player Novak Djokovic, soon find himself behind bars? Well, this option is reported by the British Guardian as one that is being considered these days.
Nola, who since arriving in Australia has been forced into solitary confinement, facing a court decision regarding his right to participate in the Melbourne Grand Slam, being arrested and losing his visa as part of a fight with the Australian government over being unvaccinated and breaking the law, is now facing a new threat.
According to the Guardian, after Djokovic finishes his part in the Australian Open and returns to his country, Serbia, he is expected to face the local court and receive a heavy sentence, ranging from a high fine to imprisonment.
Although it has been protected by the Serbian government when the entanglement began in Australia, its country's laws still apply to it, and since it violated the isolation regulations, having applied in Corona, the Serbian law enforcement authorities do not intend to turn a blind eye.
Djokovic, 34, claimed at a news conference that he did fall ill in Corona and even admitted to attending public events during his illness.
He apologized for this and described his actions as "impaired self-judgment."
According to Serbian jurists, who provided interpretation to the local press, Djokovic violated local law in such a way that he should be punished by absorbing a fine or as aforesaid sent to prison for up to three years, but also clarified that he would most likely be punished only for public service.
The jurists further said that the severity of his sentence may be derived from the fact that he is a leading public figure, "a local hero, who should serve as an example."
