Alen Smailagić, former Partizan player and current Žalgiris Kaunas member, left Serbia due to threats and extortion. Documents reveal that he was pressured to pay $525,000 based on a fraudulent contract he unknowingly signed in 2018. The scheme involved a fake company created to exploit his NBA move to Golden State. Smailagić filed criminal charges in 2022, claiming he was deceived into signing the agreement. These off-court issues affected his mental state and performance, prompting his departure from both Partizan and Serbia.
