The Dutch prosecutor’s office said that Europol, in collaboration with the Serbian police, managed to thwart a major drug ring. Eight people were arrested, including Petkovic, according to Serbian daily Blic. Other members of the criminal organization are still wanted.
The group is also suspected of illegally manufacturing and distributing narcotics. The investigations are still ongoing.
Petkovic and his colleagues are said to have helped organize a transport of cocaine from South America to Rotterdam. The 115 kilos were taken to the Belgian city of Arlon. That’s where the police hit.
As “Blic” reports, a company was involved that bought concrete slabs and then packed them with packets of cocaine in a hangar in Belgium. 22 such slabs were found, each containing three packets of cocaine weighing nearly a kilo each. Officers also found other drug packages.
According to the prosecutor’s office, the cocaine found in Arlon was to be taken to Trier by a German shipper and then to London for resale.
Petkovic is currently the sporting director of Serbian club OFK Belgrade. There are no comments from the club yet.
Between 2001 and 2003 Petkovic played for VfL Wolfsburg and 1. FC Nürnberg. His near participation in the World Cup in 2006 is legendary. He Was called up to Serbia and Montenegro to replace the injured Mirko Vucinic, but withdrew from the squad at short notice. The reason: At the time, his father Ilija Petkovic was the national coach, so the appointment was subject to a lot of criticism in the media.
Now he risks prison!
