Tennis player Jelena Dokic's father faces retrial

Published Sep 25, 2009

RUMA, Serbia(AP) The father of tennis player Jelena Dokic is facing a retrial on charges that he threatened the Australian ambassador to Serbia.

Damir Dokic was sentenced to 15 months in jail in June, but a retrial was ordered because ambassador Claire Birgin did not testify in person during the original hearing. She was represented by a lawyer.

The 50-year-old Dokic was brought under police escort to the court in Ruma, northwest of Belgrade.

His lawyer Bosiljka Djukic said Thursday that ``we expect justice from the court and that Damir will be a free man.''

Dokic was arrested in May after reportedly saying he would blow up Birgin's car if she didn't stop negative articles about him from being published in Australia.
