Vladimir Jovanović, better known as Vlada Japanac, a former member of the notorious “Zemun clan”, was arrested yesterday on the basis of an international arrest warrant for serving a four-year prison sentence.
As announced, the Japanese government tried to escape during the arrest, but was quickly overpowered by the police.
Jovanovic has been well known to law enforcement for years. He was arrested multiple times for various crimes, and in the 1990s he was nicknamed Satan. He spent some time under house arrest with the “nanogic”, due to the extortion of his worker in the bar. His file is thick and full of crimes, but let’s be in order.
When the Serbian Interior Ministry published the White Paper in 2001, Jovanovic was identified as a member of Dusan Spasojevic Shiptar’s group and Vuk Draskovic’s killers hid in his Budva apartment. In the proceedings for the assassination of the SPO leader in Budva in June 2000, it was determined that three JSO assassins who were with Dušan Spasojević used the Japanese government apartment. However, Jovanovic appeared at that trial only as a witness and said that “he has no idea who used his apartment in Budva”, considering that “everyone had the keys”.
Hit a worker
Three years ago, more precisely in May 2017, the Court of Appeals sentenced Vladimir Jovanović to almost three years in prison for extortion of 710 euros and 4,000 dinars from his employee B. Đ.
That is, as the investigation later established, he was accused of going to B. Đ’s apartment in August 2014, otherwise with injuries in one of his bars. When he broke into the apartment, he said, “Do you know who I am?” and then he threw her on the bed, hit her with his knee and kept asking her: “Where is our money?”
At one point, Jovanovic told his wife, “Do you want to go to jail or go home? Choose the country, Bulgaria or Romania.”
During that time, his accomplices, Aleksandar Grahovac and Nenad Milosevic, overturned the entire apartment asking for money.
The two found 710 euros and about 3,000-4,000 dinars, took the money, and then took Branko to the Japanese’s wife’s cafe, where they forced her to sign a statement saying that she was taking 86,000 dinars from the cash register and a market. 12,000 dinars daily.
She later told the hearing that the Japanese man strangled her and beat her asking for money. He was later sentenced to 34 months in prison.
In addition to worker B.Đ., the Japanese man was arrested at that time for other criminal acts in which several fellow citizens were injured. Extortion, threats, kidnapping and general danger. In 2014, “business partners” Grahovac and Milosevic, also known before, were arrested with him. This trio of Zemun was caught for harassing and extorting various citizens, mainly Zemun.
Interpol order
In 2005, Jovanovic tried to extort 50,000 euros from the owner of a Belgrade taxi. Then immediately after the verdict was delivered, he fled the country. Serbia issued an Interpol warrant against him, but he was not heard from until mid-2008, when he was arrested in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although Serbia hoped that the Japanese government would eventually be arrested, Bosnia and Herzegovina did not extradite him because he also has his citizenship.
Spain delivered it
A year later, Italy informs the Serbian authorities that the fugitive from the Interpol warrant was arrested with them. But after nine months, Jovanovic was released for extradition. He finds refuge in Spain, but is arrested two months later for falsified travel documents and a faulty visa. Spain then extradited him to Serbia, where, in addition to a two-year sentence, he was imprisoned for two cases of forgery.
Threatened with death at the airport
The Japanese man is accused of threatening to kill Jovan Hranisavljevic, a witness in the trial against Jovanovic, at the “Nikola Tesla” airport in Belgrade in 2011, for attacking a prison guard. The Japanese are said to have found Hranisavljević, who meanwhile got a job at the airport with the intention of instructing him on how to appear in court.
He gave him his business card and invited him to come to his cafe, and when he declined, Jovanović said the message was personally sent to him by Milorad Ulemek Legija. Then he told him that if he did not speak in court, what he ordered him to do was kill him, the indictment says.
Sharanovic wanted to kill him
Milos Vojnovic, who killed Milos Vidakovic in Budva in 2013 on the orders of Slobodan Saranovic, told the Special Court everything he knew about the murder of his brother Luka Bojovic, Nikola, as well as plans for the liquidation of Filip Korac, Luka Djurovic and Zemunac. The Japanese government.
– I have the impression that we and our families are in danger. I listened to Milos without hesitation. He told us that the Japanese government (Vladimir Jovanović, a former member of the Zemun clan) was speaking in Belgrade about revenge for the murder of Bojović. So we plan to kill him. For that job, we received money from Slobodan Sharanović, we bought a car, a “Volvo”, jammers for a mobile phone so we could find out if they put a bomb under the car, I also got some bulletproof vests in Banjica, said Vojnović.
His brother was murdered two years ago.
Blažo Đurović (39), who was shot in 2018 in Dušanovac in front of his home, is the brother of the Japanese government mother.
Djurovic died in a classic waiting room at 22 Vojvode Skopljanca street in Vozdovac, when he began to park his car from the garage. He died at the scene, and in the same seconds the assassins fled, only to burn the car they used in the settlement a few kilometers away, near the Kumodraš cemetery. Later, the police were verifying if that family link could be related to the liquidation.
Nemanja Ivanov and Darko Vesković are charged with her murder and have been in custody for more than two years while awaiting the end of the trial. Ivanov was arrested in Belgrade two weeks after the murder and Vesković in Zagreb in April 2018, from where he was extradited to Belgrade a few months later.
