The referee that Spain-Sweden will whistle tonight in Seville is Slovenian, he is 41 years old and attends for

Slavko Vincic

. This season, he has called four Champions League games, including

Atlético de Madrid-Lokomotiv Moscow

from the group stage on November 25, and he has also called two Europa League games, including

Arsenal-Villarreal

, second leg. of the semifinals, which put the yellow team in the final that would later beat

Manchester United

. So far, everything normal. From here, nothing normal.

It turns out that Vincic, in May 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic, was arrested in Bosnia in the middle of a raid against

prostitution, arms trafficking and drug trafficking

. Later, the Bosnian police allowed him to leave the country and return to Slovenia, where the referee stated:

"He had nothing to do with those people."

And the Referees Committee of his country seconded him: "I was in the wrong place at the wrong time." And so much yes.

According to the version of the collegiate, the police surprised him at a party, in the Bosnian city of

Bijeljina

, where there were

26 men and nine women

(all arrested) to which he had attended at the invitation of one of the partners with whom he has business in Bosnia. After a business meeting, he told the police, went to the house where the party was taking place, and was suddenly surrounded by police and taken to the police station. The explanation for the raid (where

firearms, cocaine and 10,000 euros in cash

were unaccepted

) is that the party was organized by

Tijana Maksimovic

, a well-known instagramer whom the authorities accuse of running a luxury prostitution ring.

In the end, he was released without charge and questioned simply as a witness, but in his native Slovenia, where he is very popular, the event made the front page of every newspaper.

"I was sitting at a table with my companion and suddenly, the police came in. I did not know why, and after having testified, I can say that I had nothing to do with the reason for that investigation," he explained in Slovenian television.
