A luxury vehicle belonging to former referee Giorgos Daloukas caught fire on Sunday. According to the Magnesia Fire Brigade, the luxury Porsche Cayenne jeep was parked outside the former referee's home in Kato Lehonia in the Magnesia prefecture. Daloukas was on a business trip in Cyprus.
A laptop and some personal belongings were stolen and then the car was set on fire. Firemen managed to extinguish the fire two hours later. Damage caused to the vehicle has been estimated at 50,000 euros.
Giorgos Daloukas, the referee at the center of the so-called Calciopoulos scandal of alleged match-fixing that has rocked the Greek game, told a prosecutor in March that he had recently received repeated threats to his life, a fact that police have also confirmed.
Investigators said Sunday that there could be a link between the sandal and the arson attack.
