The scandal made by the older brother of the Serbian basketball player Nikola Jokic, Strahinja Jokic, does not stop attracting the attention of the American and European media, "Kurir.rs" reported.

The eldest brother of one of the best players in the center position in the NBA League was arrested a few days ago for attacking his girlfriend, after she said that he strangled and beat her.

Strahinja Jokic was detained and then released from custody, and what the American media are now trying to find out is the reason for his violent behavior towards his girlfriend.

Branislav Jokic, the father of the brothers Nikola and Strahinja, immediately spoke out, hinting that it was just a marital dispute, but the New York Post now published its own information that the attack was provoked during a conversation about the girl's ex-partners, ie her love past.

According to reports, Strahinja Jokic while he was with his girlfriend and started talking about who and how many men she was having fun with before being with him. The partner initially did not want to tell him, but after his insistence, she revealed the number. The NBA star's brother did not like the answer, and began to suffocate her with his arms around her neck.

Then, she tried to ask for help on the phone, but Strahinja did not allow her. At one point, she managed to escape and send a message in the room via a computer to her friend, who called the police, reports "New York Post".

For this attack, if he is found guilty, the eldest of the Jokic brothers could end up in prison, because this crime is punishable by 5 to 16 years in prison.

Strahinja previously gained a reputation in the American media as a bad and problematic boy with short patience due to his behavior in the Denver Nuggets games, but also due to his "dangerous" image.
