UEFA Champions League referee, Slavko Vincic has been arrested by police in Bosnia and Herzegovina for his alleged involvement in a drugs and prostitution ring.
Vincic refereed the 2019/20 Champions League game between Genk and Liverpool as well as two more Champions League games and one in the Europa League.
He was detained in a cabin in Bijeljina where the authorities discovered nine women, 26 men and a cache of weapons and cocaine.
Croatian daily 24Sata reported that Vincic, who was an assistant to Damir Skomina at Euro 2012, was arrested alongside Tijana Maksimovic, who police believe was the ringleader of the prostitution ring. Maksimovic was detained while attempting to cross the border with Croatia in a boat that was also carrying three women.
While Vincic is not believed to be directly involved in the operation, he stands accused of being one of the 26 men who were allegedly caught in possession of drugs and illegal firearms.
