• Soccer.Kovacevic, out of danger after a shooting in front of his home in Athens

"Raúl Bravo ordered it," says the Serbian newspaper 'Telegraf' in a new twist to the gruesome story of Darko Kovacevic, who is on his way to becoming the script for a movie. The Balkan striker, a companion of the former Spanish defender in Olympiacos, was the victim of a shooting outside his home in Athens. The bullet did not reach him but his knee and wrist were damaged in the fall and, in addition, he was in a state of shock. According to the Serbian newspaper, Kovacevic could have been aware of some details about the purchase and sale of matches in which Raúl Bravo was involved, the so-called 'Oikos operation'.

In the last two years of his career, at Olympiacos, Kovacevic shared the dressing room with Raúl Bravo between 2007 and 2009, with whom the Serb said he maintained a good relationship. This is also the reason why the alleged revelation of 'Telegraf' of the link between the shooting in Kovacevic and the betting case that led to the arrest of 11 people, including Raúl Bravo, was surprising.

The police should have found a video of everything that happened, material that is still being evaluated by a group of experts. At the moment it seems likely that it was a warning, not an attempted murder. It seems unlikely that a professional would miss the goal from such a short distance. It is also strange that the police did not find the bullet, which led to the suspicion of the use of a discharged weapon, with the sole purpose of scaring Kovacevic.
