Dejan Lovren Charged with Perjury, Could Receive 5-Year Prison Sentence

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren could be hit with a five-year prison sentence after being charged with perjury in his native Croatia.

According to MailOnline's Will Griffee, Lovren has been charged with the same offence that was levelled at Real Madrid star Luka Modric back in March.

The pair testified in the tax fraud and embezzlement trial of former agent and Dinamo Zagreb executive director Zdravko Mamic, but they have been charged with giving false testimony.
