Brice Taton

This was stated on Friday by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.

The incident happened on Wednesday, after Red Star's Champions League fixture against PSG.

BELGRADE - The High Court in Belgrade on Wednesday sentenced Partizan supporter Djordje Prelic to 12 years in prison for the 2009 killing of French football fan Brice Taton in downtown Belgrade.

Originally, Prelic had been given 15 years in prison in absentia but was granted a retrial following extradition from Spain in 2014 after being on the run for years.

Dejan Puzigaca - convicted for the murder of French citizen Brice Taton in 2009 - was on Thursday extradited to Serbia from Athens.

The Belgrade-based daily Blic is reporting that Puzigaca had in the meantime become an Orthodox monk, taking the name of Sava.

A Serbian man who was one of more than a dozen suspects convicted in the 2009 murder of a French football fan was arrested at Athens airport, authorities announced on Saturday.

Dejan Puzigaca, 34, was intercepted at Athens’ international airport on Wednesday when he arrived from Thailand via a stopover, police said.

Slobodan Ruzic, lawyer for the family, on Monday said the parents of Brice Taton had decided to withdraw a lawsuit against Serbia because of “the deadline for the compensation that the family was getting from a special fund in France.

"The trial in Serbia was going so slowly that they stood to lose their right to compensation from the fund,” Ruzic said.
