The cocaine smuggling in the police drug cartel was being pulled by a Croatian criminal who has property in Kloštar Ivanić, in northwestern Moslavina, in Zagreb County.
This emerges from transcripts of conversations between part of the Kavača team, who address the Croat as boss.
From the messages that this person exchanged with a fugitive member of the Kavač clan with a police badge, Ljubo Milović, it is clear that this is one of the closest associates of the accused Pljevljak Darko Sarić.
This Croatian citizen used the nickname on the once protected Sky app Pacino New and pin UCRQ65, but also at least one other pin and nickname.
This is the person who brags to Milović about his property in Kloštar Ivanić, and also sends him a satellite image of the land on which his ranch is located.
"A part of the ranch as it would be. This one is drawing a bit of it for me. This is a satellite image of the land. Now 30.000, I still have to convince one of my neighbors to sell, he has 15 thousand more, but he deliberately won't sell it to me. The whole project is not finished yet, there is a football field, tennis, basketball, children's playground, etc.... When everything is finished, I'll just copy the papers and send them to you," he writes to Milović in the fall of 2020, when he sends the photos...
This person is mentioned in one of the indictments of the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT), but only by nickname.
This act includes Milović, Radoje Switzerland, Mileta Ojdanic, police officers Ivan Stamatović, Nebojša Bulgarian, Petar Lazovic, Dejan Knezevic, Milan Popovic, Miloš Mišurović, Marko Novakovic, Ivan Nikolic, Goran Stojanovic, then former president of the Municipality of Budva Milo Božoviyes, but also Božidar Jabučanin, Aleksandar Keković, Vladimir Bajčeta, Tihomir Adzic, Filip Zindovic (Kljajevic), Darko Knezevic, Drazen Milović, Ivan Mijatović.
The prosecution charges the individuals in that group, among other things, for smuggling 4,3 tons of cocaine, for laundering around 7.000.000 euros, but also for causing general danger and illegal possession of weapons.
According to the indictment, Božović, together with Milović, Ojdanić and Lazović, transported 2021 kilograms of cocaine from Ecuador via the Kingdom of Belgium to the Kingdom of the Netherlands in January and February 846. They did this with individuals who, according to the indictment, used nicknames on the encrypted Sky application. Nw night!!!, Wolk, Pacino New i Hulk new.
That "Paćino" is not just one in a series of cartel soldiers is clear from the conversations between Milović and Ojdanić, held in late 2020 and early 2021.
"Brother, here's what I wrote with the boss, so when you're free, read it," Ojdanić wrote to the now-fugitive drug inspector, Milović, on November 29, 2020.
Hidden behind a nickname future, Ojdanić then asked the Croat if "Brother's wife" had contacted him.
From that, but also from the communication between Milović and Ojdanić, but also from Milović's conversation with Milivoj Kišić, who was indicted in Serbia, it is clear that they are talking about an accused drug dealer Milan Milovac, called Brick, who was killed in Ecuador in 2020.
His long-time close associates Šarić and a Croatian criminal are suspected of organizing the murder. Petar Cosic called Pinto.
"She doesn't report anything," the Croat replied to Ojdanić, who relayed the information he had.
"Nothing? Because Kris tells me that they are constantly in touch and that he keeps her informed. And he has info from the landlady of Buraz's apartment, and she has direct contact with the doctor who works at that clinic where Buraz is," Ojdanić wrote that day, and Pacino promises to write to her.
Panic over cocaine price drop
On the same day, they agree on a new cocaine delivery - Ojdanić informs his boss that they "Monks "has already brought in almost 500 pieces", and that this quantity has arrived and is "on the shelf"...
"It would be good to have at least something, at least that much," Pacino New replied, who then demanded an explanation about how their last delivery went down and whether only their "goods" were confiscated...
"Ours and another bucket, 290 pieces," Ojdanić reports to him.
Pacino New then sends that the other drugs seized may have been Kap's.
"That was definitely a tip-off... There's nothing else if they just took down those bins," the Croat wrote to him, and Ojdanić replied:
"It's a small amount, it shouldn't be Kapo's, but anything is possible. It just looks like a tip to me. There were 6 dry bins in total and they took them all down and checked them"...
Six days earlier, a shipment of cocaine was seized from the team, and they discussed it in a group chat, one of whose participants was Pacino New...
Milović, Ojdanić and the person writing under the pseudonym ASTIT address him as boss.
Although Ojdanić initially wrote to them: "We sailed, guys, everything is ok, brothers," panic immediately arose in the group...
That Budva resident informed the team that they had a problem:
"The guy called me just now, he says he has a problem, the Ecuadorians called him, it seems the goods have fallen. I don't understand anything, nor does he, what and how, because they said everything is fine. He went to see them now, so he'll call me when he knows what it is... God forbid it's not true, but I couldn't help but tell you and wait for confirmation... He says they called me and said we have a problem, we need to see each other urgently. I say ok, what's the problem, what did they tell you... He says about work, let's see each other... He says I'm watching a video from work where the box is lifted onto the ship and after that the inspection came and they lowered the box. It's not a typo or anything, it's just bad luck. I tell him the problem is that you said everything was ok and that the ship sailed without any problems. That's the biggest problem," Ojdanić wrote.
And while Milović and a certain ASTIT write that they are ready for it, the boss asks for an explanation...
"Someone of them must know why the box was lowered, if it was raised. It's not safe without a reason. We'll see, Mungo will know what it is, for sure," he writes.
It appears from the correspondence that the same thing happened every time their drugs were seized, except that at the beginning of 2021 he accused one of his associates, a certain Pasto, of bringing bad luck to them because of him.
"While Pasto is close to falling everything... Pasto f*cked our mother, because he's a walking problem," he writes after another cocaine seizure...
Then, speaking of Darko Šarić as "the one on the inside", he emphasizes that he never wanted to do business with that associate either...
To the boss's detriment
Discussing whether and how much information Milan Milovac's widow has about them, Ojdanić and a fugitive from Kavča with a police badge conclude in early 2021 that if she knows everything, they will have to compromise to the boss's detriment.
They discussed this in the days when international investigators, led by Europol, were cracking down on the then encrypted Sky application through which thousands of criminals were arranging drug smuggling, liquidations, and money laundering.
On March 8, 2021, Milović wrote to his interlocutor that Kišić also had a completely different picture of Cigla's role in their business, because "he was being told fairy tales by the tortured Brother."
"I have to see how much she knows about us. Does she know who we are, what we are," says Milović.
"Sure. He told the woman that he was the one who created the combination and they think that we worked on Buraz's infrastructure and logistics... That's right. That's a must," Ojdanić agrees, and the fugitive police officer says:
"If he knows a lot, we have to make some compromise to the boss's detriment... Because that's evil of a woman. If we don't make a compromise, the BIA will know everything about us."
Ojdanić replies that it could be very dangerous, but also that she knows 99 percent of everything.
"He told her you can think of anything and the worst thing is that she certainly thinks that we grabbed his contacts and are working with them... And then that's 100 percent the problem... They don't know that we buried our heads with his contact and gave up a long time ago...", writes Ojdanić, who then agrees that a compromise is being made to the detriment of their boss: "That's how it should be as a rule."
"And the boss is here, as you say, alive and well, and he knows everything," adds Ojdanić.
Milović says that Kišić must be his ally, not Milovac's wife...
"He was there for them for ten years. He worked for a few years for a salary... When Buraz escaped, when the Balkan Warrior operation began, Kišić sold the car and gave them money. And he was with them the whole time, with the children, the wife...", Milović writes.
Ojdanić then says that Milovac was a good friend, that he offered to share the debt with him, and that he was good to all of them.
"And we are much better for him, by God. He would just be crazy... Comrade... But when I look a little wider, there are many things... As for Abi, they were tormented by that debt, they didn't want to close it despite the millions, but the Šarićs ask me... Do you have any idea how much money they took. The two of them, approximately - the boss and Buraz? I think it's probably 5-6 million each," Milović writes, and Ojdanić tells him that it's 100 percent true...
Ojdanić is in custody, and the police have been searching for Milović for three years.
Milovac, who they were talking about, was once sentenced to 11 years in prison in Serbia as a member of Šarić's group that smuggled cocaine.
The media reported that after Darko Šarić surrendered in 2014, Cigla was supposed to take over the leadership of the clan, as he had long been his right-hand man in the criminal business.
Serbia issued an Interpol arrest warrant for him back in 2010, because he disappeared and nothing was known about him for 11 years, until it was discovered that he had been liquidated in Ecuador.
Milovac was initially wounded, but then succumbed to the serious injuries he sustained.
“We fill the ship without a moment of waiting”
"If Hapag is okay, we'll do something with Hapag the same week, what the boss would say - 400, 500. He already has 690 and there will be more goods," Ojdanić wrote to Ljubo Milović on December 2, 2020.
The now fugitive policeman replied that they had to fill the boat immediately: "Without a moment's delay."
"On the first ship. That's what the hell I'm talking about. Everything fell apart for Enco and people got ripped apart," Ojdanić explains that day while negotiating another cocaine delivery with a police officer.
The boss got high again
In early December 2020, Milović complained to Ojdanić that their boss was on drugs again.
"The boss is on drugs again. What is this, he's writing with half a brain," he comments in a separate correspondence with Ojdanić.
The former police officer replies that their boss has half a brain when he's normal, and when he's high on drugs, "he looks like 10 percent."
"Are these people this ungrateful and insensitive, what the hell is this, is this possible... I found him in Zagreb for Bc. I'll give him the address tomorrow when he's sober. He's just so lazy, what's this," he writes.
Milović then adds that he sees all of this and that he cannot pay for "what Kapa is doing"...
"The easiest thing to say is that there is nothing and nothing can be done. This is a miracle of what a man does and how much he sacrifices. Unbelievable," adds Ojdanić.
Milović sends that he is very surprised, "knowing what they are like", and the interlocutor continues:
"He's a really good man, very easy-going and natural, easy-going and bright. He doesn't like to give money... And for a thing like this, he wants money and everything for Brother. Not for work. Otherwise, he's just a really friendly and sociable and kind person. And he's not lazy, he's hard-working to the max. I organized a BC for the boss in ZG. How will he manage on BC, hahaha. He's going to go crazy," writes Ojdanić, most likely talking about the encrypted BC application.
Milović replies: "The boss is smart. She'll teach him"...
A treat for the people of Pljevlja for the holidays, the police bring...
At the end of 2020, a person whom part of the Kavač clan and the police drug cartel calls their boss asked Ljubo Milović to provide a kilogram of cocaine for the people of Pljevlja, so that they could have it for the holidays...
“Did you transfer those goods to Montenegro?” he asks Milović on December 28, 2020.
When the policeman replied that he had and that he had distributed it to his friends, "to do for them," but that he had three kilograms left, the Croat asked to leave one for the people of Pljevlja.
"We have to finish this so no one knows where he came from," Pacino tells New, and Milović asks him if Sami should surrender.
From the correspondence that the interlocutor forwards to him, it can be seen that the person's name is Miško...
"Can I pick them up in PG, or can I drop them off at Žabljak these days?" asks Milović, and the person he is talking to replies that the team will come wherever he says...
Then he also stated that he would tell the people of Pljevlja that the police were bringing them cocaine.
He also emphasizes to him that the person who comes for the drugs will bring half the money, and the rest will be on his account.
"Leave aside PV's drug use," he writes, and Milović writes to him that it's "just right for the holidays."
"I will tell you the police will bring you... Whichever river you want, old or new from Dritan," he writes and forwards a message to Milović that he wrote to Pljevljak to hold everything from Tivat to Podgorica...
