This was announced on Wednesday by Police Minister Aleksandar Vulin, adding that it is evident that criminals in the region cooperate very well and that it is obvious that the borders between the countries do not represent an obstacle for them.
– It is very good news for the citizens of Serbia and the Republika Srpska that it is no longer free – said Vulin. – There are no protected persons in Serbia. President Aleksandar Vučić declared war on the mafia, and anyone who thinks he is speaking lightly or saying it for political reasons is very wrong. Darko Elez will not be the only one to face in the fight against crime.
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s request was necessary for the arrest of this Sarajevan, because he is a citizen of both countries.
– That made our work much easier, because they are criminal acts that have already occurred, we know how and in what way – Minister Vulin explained.
The spokesman for the Bosnia and Herzegovina Prosecutor’s Office, Boris Grubešić, stated that Elez is wanted for the trial in the “Puppet” case, but also for the ongoing investigation with the Republika Srpska police due to various serious crimes committed between 2017 and 2019, including two murders. It is about the murder of the owner of the “Rodeo” wedding hall, Siniša Miličević named Tigar, who was killed on May 31, 2018 in front of his building in East New Sarajevo.
The second crime occurred on January 1, 2019, when the owner Miloš Ostojić was killed with an automatic rifle in front of the “Sparta” club. He was killed in front of several eyewitnesses when there was a repeat of the New Year’s celebration at the club. The assassins escaped with a “golf” that was set on fire together with a rifle in the Ivanići settlement.
By the way, one of the strongest criminal organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina was dissolved by the “Puppet” case. The indictment covers 32 people, but Elez was never tried because he was in Serbia at the time of the trial.
– At first he was serving a prison sentence in Sremska Mitrovica, and after his release he had the protection of certain people from the Ministry of the Interior – says our interlocutor. – Apparently, it was rumored that he provided relevant information for the clarification of certain crimes, and at the same time, it is suspected that he himself organized the crimes.
By the way, in the “Puppet” case, 15 people were sentenced to 118 years in prison. Bojan Cvijan, the former head of SIPA’s Drug Department, who was sentenced to 20 years, received the largest sentence. The indictment accuses Elez of being the organizer of a criminal group, as well as the intellectual author of several crimes. According to the indictment, and later the verdict, the group is responsible for the murders of Boris Govedarica (August 2007) and Zoran Golub Charlama (August 2008), who were shot with automatic rifles, and Vlatko Macar, who was blown up by the explosion of a mine (January 2008). the victims were Rade Magazin and Milan Vlaškić, attempted murder of Đorđe Ždrala (April and October 2006).
The group was also accused of spectacular thefts of 2.2 million euros from the van of Privredna banka Sarajevo (June 2006), 670,000 convertible marks from the “Post 2” (June 2008) in Sarajevo, 1.8 million KM from the Pavlović International bank van (August). 2005) and attempted theft of 2.2 million KM at the Nova Banka branch in East Sarajevo (November 2005), money laundering … According to the indictment, Elez was also the direct author of several liquidations and thefts.
WE KNEW WHERE IT IS GOING
MINISTER Vulin says that Elez was arrested in Batajnica, in a company that was owned by his wife, but was essentially owned by him.
– The action was professional, we knew where he was going, who he was seeing – said Vulin and repeated that there are no protected persons in the fight against organized crime. – It is difficult to say that Elez had the protection of the Police Ministry, he is a citizen of both Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the last month we have arrested Darko Elez, who will no longer be able to destroy the lives of our citizens, we have arrested the “Pink Panthers”, who stole watches worth four million euros. We work in the fight against drugs every day.
