Novak Djokovic is facing accusations of providing false information on his Australian travel declaration
World number one Novak Djokovic is being investigated by the Australian Border Force over claims he provided incorrect information on his travel form to enter the country, in a fresh twist to the tennis star’s deportation drama.
Djokovic won his court battle in Melbourne on Monday as a federal court judge reversed the decision to cancel the Serbian’s visa and ordered his release from a detention center.
But fresh questions have been raised after it emerged that it was stated on Djokovic’s travel declaration form – which was filled out by an agent on his behalf before his arrival – that he had not traveled or would not travel in the 14 days prior to his arrival in Australia.
Images have circulated purporting to show Djokovic in his native Serbia on and around December 25, while he was seen training in Spain at the end of that month and in early January – from where he traveled to Australia via transit in Dubai.
