Basketball referee Matej Bolthauser arrested for theft at “Nikola Tesla” airport

The Slovenian referee, who regularly administers justice at Euroleague and ABA League matches, stole a bottle of “Tom Ford” perfume worth 221 euros in the “free shop” after the Euroleague match between Partizan and Monaco on March 5 of this year.

Bolthauser was taken into custody for shoplifting before he was able to leave the airport. Security footage shows the judge putting a package of perfume into his coat.

According to the sources of the Greek portal “Basketnews”, the Euroleague has initiated disciplinary proceedings against Bolthauser and is currently collecting all the information.
