BELGRADE, April 5 (Xinhua) -- Serbian soccer player Aleksandar Prijovic has been sentenced to three months of home detention for ignoring a curfew imposed to curb the spread of coronavirus.
The 29-year-old striker, who plays for Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad, pleaded guilty in Belgrade on Saturday.
Police had arrested Prijovic and 19 others for gathering at a hotel lobby bar in Belgrade on Friday, violating the country's 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. lockdown orders.
He is the second Serbian soccer player to be caught violating the stay-at-home orders after Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic flouted the state of emergency decree when he attended his girlfriend's birthday party at a Belgrade cafe last month.
