Stockholm fans have expressed their anger towards former Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who recently acquired a stake in local club Hammarby, by vandalizing a building he owns in the city.
On Wednesday night, a building owned by Ibrahimovic in downtown Stockholm was targeted by vandals, who sprayed graffiti on the entrance with the word 'Judas'. The incident was reported to the police, who are treating it as vandalism.
The vandalism comes after reports emerged that Ibrahimovic had acquired a stake in Hammarby, prompting an angry reaction from fans in Malmo, where he was born and started his professional career.
A statue of Ibrahimovic outside Malmo Stadium was also vandalized on Wednesday, with a racist message sprayed on the ground nearby.
Ibrahimovic enjoyed a trophy-laden career after leaving Malmo, playing for top clubs including Ajax Amsterdam, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, Paris St Germain, and Manchester United before spending the last two seasons in the U.S. Major League with LA Galaxy.
