[edit] Out of field

After accusations of Drulic, on Feb 5 2007 - Serbian Football Association vice-president Dragan Dzajic and two other former Red Star Belgrade officials were arrested for alleged fraud and abuse of power. "In the period between 4 July 2001 and 15 March 2002, the three Red Star officials concluded a deal stipulating the club was to get 27 million German marks from the transfer of Drulic to Real Zaragoza,' it said. They then opened a bank account to Drulic's name without his knowledge and transferred the Spanish club's payment for the player in the amount of €6,127,104.24 to Red Star's account. After doing that, they made several withdrawals by using Drulic's fake signature they had forged to make illegal profit for themselves."
