Serbian police search for former basketball player Miladin Kovacevic on suspicion of hitting a TT girl
According to unofficial information, she reported him for physical violence, but not only that. As we learn, Kovacevic took the girl’s mobile phone and purse. Blic sources affirm that everything happened two days ago and, unofficially, in his department.
Milandin Kovacevic came to light in 2008 when he brutally beat student Brian Steinhauer in the United States, who spent three months in a coma due to the consequences of the beating. Although he was arrested and his passport confiscated so that he could not leave the United States, he nevertheless managed to escape by having the Serbian consulate in New York issue him a temporary travel document with which he left America and returned to Serbia.
That diplomatic scandal cost the citizens of Serbia up to $ 900,000, which the state paid as compensation, and it is not enough to say how that fact affected relations between Serbia and the United States at the time.
Kovačević was investigated in parallel in both the United States and Serbia, who was handed over to Serbia following compensation to the Steinhauer family, where Kovačević was sentenced to two years and three months in prison. However, he was released earlier, in November 2012. While awaiting trial, he played for BC Vrbas, and after his release from prison for BC Mediana. On both occasions, without much success, he showed that the fight is not alien to him in 2013 in the First League basketball game. As the media wrote, Kovačević then, as a Meridian player, threw him to the ground and then kicked and spat at the opposing BC Smederevo player, Darko Rnić, at the end of the match.
The basketball league fined Kovacevic, who was released from prison in November, 34,500 dinars for unsportsmanlike conduct in the game, kicking and spitting at the opposing player. He and several of his teammates played after the game on September 26, furious at the defeat (96: 93), in the dressing room in the hall of SC Smederevo, they broke taps, a hair dryer, hand dryers and everything that was put by hand. Miladin Kovačević, who went by the nickname Minja, played basketball at Binghamton and, according to the University’s data at the time, is 2.05 meters tall and weighs 118 kilograms.
When Kovacevic beat the American, after waking up from a coma, he also spoke through the Serbian media.
– I was in a coma for three months, a long time … When I woke up I weighed 43 kilograms, only my bones and skin, my atrophied muscles. I could not do anything. This is how I look today, thousands of hours have been invested in it. To be so functional, walking, running, eating alone, I had to work like never before, Prva Steinhauer told TV a few years ago.
