Sasa Lukic's Bentley Damaged in Locked Belgrade Garage
Windows on Sasa Lukic's Bentley were smashed overnight on August 5 and 6 in a private Belgrade garage. The Serbia midfielder was abroad at the time. The case is with the Third OJT.
Windows on Sasa Lukic’s Bentley were smashed on the night of August 5 to 6, inside a private garage at a luxury residential complex in Belgrade. The Serbia national team midfielder was out of the country at the time. Police carried out an on-site investigation, and the case now falls under the Third Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade.
Who damaged the car remains unknown. The investigation is ongoing.
The garage isn’t a public lot
The space where the car was parked isn’t open to visitors. It’s a private garage inside a residential complex, accessible only to the building’s residents. That is currently the most specific detail to become public, and on its own it narrows the pool of people who could have entered that night.
In cases like this, investigators typically start with surveillance footage and entry logs, if the building has them. Whether this garage does hasn’t been disclosed.
The time of the incident wasn’t pinned to an exact hour but given as a range, the night of August 5 to 6. That’s standard when the owner isn’t present, since the damage isn’t noticed the moment it happens but later, when someone comes across the vehicle.
It hasn’t been disclosed how many windows were broken, what was used to break them, or whether anything was taken from the car. There’s also no information on whether any other vehicle in the same garage was damaged.
Why does the Third OJT have jurisdiction?
The Third Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade has territorial jurisdiction over the municipalities of Zemun, Novi Beograd and Surcin. The complex’s address hasn’t been released, so the identity of the prosecutor’s office handling the case is the only public clue to where in the city this happened.
The legal classification of the offense hasn’t been announced. Until the prosecutor’s office discloses it, there’s nothing to say about the potential sentence or how the proceedings will unfold. At this stage there’s an on-site investigation, a damaged vehicle and an open case file, nothing more.
No one has been named a suspect so far.
Lukic is in the middle of a club move
Lukic has played for Fulham, the English Premier League club, since January 2023, when he moved there from Torino. He made 106 appearances for the London side. The 29-year-old midfielder spent three and a half years in London.
His time away from Serbia these days also has a business reason. English journalist Ben Jacobs reported on August 6 that the player is leaving Fulham for Ipswich Town, with a medical scheduled for Friday. The club hasn’t confirmed the move officially yet, and no transfer fee has been disclosed.
No link between the two events has been established, and nothing published suggests one. They’re two things that happened to coincide in the same week.
What happens next
After the on-site investigation comes the gathering of information, and the prosecutor’s office decides whether there are grounds to suspect a specific person. If that happens, the public will be informed through an official statement, not before.
Lukic hasn’t commented on the case. There’s no statement from the club either, nor from his representatives.
One question in cases like this tends to come up last: whether that particular car was the target, or whether it was damaged simply because it happened to be there. The on-site investigation won’t answer that. Only a check of who entered the garage that night, and when, can.
