The Age: Djokovic faces up to a year in prison in Australia for providing false information

Reported by The Age.

According to the source, the 34-year-old tennis player, upon entering Australia, said that he had not been to other countries 14 days before arrival, which turned out to be untrue.

During this period, he visited Spain.

Providing false information when entering a country is a serious violation that could result in imprisonment.

Also at the border, Djokovic said that it was not he who filled out the documents, but Tennis Australia.

When entering Australia, Djokovic faced visa problems due to incorrect paperwork due to a medical withdrawal from COVID-19 vaccination.

The tennis player was supposed to be deported, but his lawyers appealed to a federal court and achieved a positive decision.

The Australian Open Tennis Championships will be held from 17 to 30 January in Melbourne.

Earlier, Djokovic's uncle accused the Australian authorities of wanting to humiliate the tennis player.
