Inspectors of the Fourth Department of the Belgrade Police detained Sergej Trifunović last night around 20:XNUMX p.m. in Voždovac, after several grams of marijuana were found in his possession, Nova portal reports.
It is suspected that just before his arrest he bought marijuana from an acquaintance who was also detained.
Both the actor and his acquaintance were detained by the police.
This is just one of the events where the controversial actor and political activist has been in the spotlight for his troubles with the law.
Trifunović was behind bars in May of last year. Then he was detained in Vračar, when he collided with a car while driving a "vespa" motorcycle.
There were no injuries in the accident, but material damage was caused.
The testing revealed that Trifunović tested positive for cocaine and cannabis, which is why he was detained by the police for 12 hours.
It was later determined that Trifunović was not responsible for the accident, however, at that time he did not have an A category license.
"Goodbye!" And it was nice!"
Trifunović was also behind bars in September of last year, for insulting the police in Split.
Then some visitors to the Kaštelet beach rebelled because Trifunović was letting his German shepherd off-leash on this beach where dogs are prohibited, which is why they reported him to the local police.
After the police arrived, the actor allegedly verbally assaulted the police officers, which resulted in his arrest. He disputed everything, claiming that he was the victim of bullying.
In two days - he earned five fouls. And his visit to Split ended with his expulsion from Croatia and his ban on entering the European Union.
He was taken to the Misdemeanor Court. In total, he said, he paid 1.600 euros in fines. And after leaving the court, he paid a new fine the same evening in the heart of Split.
A day later, he was detained at the Bajakovo border crossing, after which he was banned from entering Croatia, the entire European Union, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland.
Among the misdemeanors he allegedly committed are mocking, insulting, as well as disturbing public order and peace.
After this incident, the actor announced himself on social networks and said, quoting Oliver Dragojević, that he would never return to Split.
"Goodbye." And it was nice and all of you, my dear friends from Split, are always welcome", added Trifunović.
Behind bars for unpaid fine
A little less than a month after the incident in Split, Trifunović spent 24 hours in prison.
Namely, on October 10, the actor reported to the Public Prosecutor's Office in Bačvanska Street at the invitation of the Commercial Court, due to an unpaid fine, after which he was taken to prison immediately following the verdict.
However, the very next day someone paid the fine for the offense he had and the actor was released.
"From the stage - into the abyss of politics"
Apart from numerous roles in cult films such as "When I Grow Up I'll Be a Kangaroo", "Lightning", "Tourneja", Trifunović is also known to the public for his controversial statements and political activism.
"In my political life, in which I very intensively plunged from the stage into the abyss, of course with the best intentions, I experienced such stabs in the back that last year I drank more severe depression. When I got out of that depression, I decided that nothing could affect me anymore. It only affects me when my dog Mile is hungry and I leave him unwalked. A person learns best from himself", he once said in an interview for Blic.
When it comes to his political involvement, in the 2020 elections, Trifunović was the holder of the list of the Movement of Free Citizens, of which he was the president for a time.
During the 2017 presidential campaign, Trifunović publicly supported Saša Janković.
His first steps towards political activism and rebellion happened much earlier, during protests against the Milosevic regime.
He also supported last year's "Serbia against violence" protests, at which he was also a speaker.
