In March 2021, Belgian authorities found 1.044,71 kilograms of cocaine in the port of Antwerp, among sacks and pallets of corn. The investigation showed that the smuggling of this valuable cargo was organized by a drug clan gathered around fugitive police officer Ljubo Milović and the accused Mileta Ojdanić.
Prosecutors also identify fugitive Vukašin Vojinović and arrested Aleksandar Mijajlović as members of that criminal organization.
The files of the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) show that this crime team used various methods to smuggle cocaine from South America to the Old Continent.
In early 2021, the drugs, according to the documents, left South America for Belgium on the ship CMA CGM JEAN GABRIEL. According to special prosecutors, the cocaine was then hidden among a cargo of corn, packed in hundreds of blocks and placed in black polypropylene bags and brown packages wrapped in transparent foil, and then arranged on pallets, in order to be transported unnoticed by ship from Ecuador to Europe...
Intercepted communications from the once-protected Sky application show that they monitored the transport in detail - exchanging photos of the interior of the container, marking which pallets should be pulled out first, sending the container number HLXU3501646, and explaining the arrangement of goods within the load.
They also issued instructions to their field associates via messages - to bring extra seals, as well as knives for cutting plastic, in order to extract the cocaine.
The investigators were faster.
Belgian investigators, however, were faster - on March 10, 2021, the Federal Public Finance Service there found 1.044,71 kilograms of cocaine in container number HLXU3501646 of the freight forwarder "Hapag Lloyd" at the port of Antwerp on quay 1700, which was transported by the CMA CGM JEAN GABRIEL ship that had entered the port two days earlier.
Criminal charges were then filed against Broekhoven Dani, Al Masuda and Oulali Anas.
They also determined that Broekhoven, hiding behind the nickname LE PETIT M, was in agreement about this criminal business with Ojdanić, who wrote under the nickname Futuro, then with a person hiding behind the nickname Rambo, and also with someone who used the nickname 2021NEW.
By reading correspondence from Skaje, Montenegrin investigators came across evidence that the transport of this quantity of expensive white powder was arranged by Milović and Ojdanić, who corresponded about this illegal deal from January 8 to March 8, 2021.
Initially, the two of them talk about "taking over in two parts and selling", after which Milović asks: "How is the situation with the little guy, what does he say... Will we work next week?"...
With the answer that the situation is excellent, Ojdanić explains that he "spoke to the associate on BC"...
"Next week we are working if BGD. And waiting for the transport to open after January 10th to transfer the goods to Hapag 1000 pcs... Yesterday it was in the kitchen, everything is printed. There are 250 pcs of Lava and the rest of MK. It was printed and they pressed it harder to make it harder," writes Ojdanić.
"Great, great, let's push hard," Milović replied.
In the following days, the two of them arranged criminal deals almost every day, and on February 10, Ojdanić sent Milović photographs showing a large number of packages in transparent foil, on a pallet, photographed from two different angles, and then a message:
"Everything is in order. We are entering the port today, the ship sails on Friday."
"Topp. How they packed it. Doctors," Milović replied.
Milović and Ojdanić 250 pieces each?
On the same day, Ojdanić explains to Milović that the two of them each have 250 in that delivery, and explains that he "put" the Albanian Besim in the business with them, and that he kicked out some of the existing "collaborators"...
Both emphasize that they will give up some space to the rest of the team if it gets too tight, and at one point Milović writes that they have to consider lowering the price:
"Brother, it's going to be hard to get this to 28, I don't know how Major is doing, I'd go down to 27, whoever takes more, and whoever takes 27.500 in small amounts. I don't know what you think. Or should we still hold on to 28. But it's really hard, they sent me correspondence with a couple of really strong buyers. They won't pay more than 27," he sends.
Ojdanić answers him: "You can, brother"...
By the end of that month and the beginning of the following month, they are discussing other cocaine shipments, problems in that business, the political situation in Montenegro and Serbia, changes and appointments in the local police...
On the first day of March, Ojdanić wrote to Milović to talk about the cocaine on Hapag and to arrange its transfer to the Netherlands.
"It's coming in a week. I tell him 5-6 days for transport, he says take your time, it's early," he sends...
Two days later he reported to Milović that Belg had told him that the ship was arriving the next day and that it was late.
Investigators from the Special State Prosecutor's Office and the Special Police Department also analyzed messages that Ojdanić exchanged with several people, which were written in Dutch...
He talks with them from March 5th to 8th about taking over cocaine from the port...
After LE PETIT M replied on March 5 that everything was fine with the ship, Ojdanić received an explanation from other associates and that it would arrive in port on March 8. The day before that, they wrote to him:
"Yes, it was supposed to be today, brother, but it's been postponed until tomorrow... Brother, I don't want to sleep, the phone is next to me non-stop, I'm among people, I can't pick it up right away, you get the idea, tomorrow is Wednesday, I don't work on Thursday, I'm just busy with this job. Of course, the docks are red-hot, there are a lot of arrests, the stress is great, but everything will be fine with this. Tomorrow at 23 pm, unloading is planned on the ship"...
Then they ask him to send photos of the inside of the container, so they know where they're getting it from...
Ojdnaić sends 14 photos showing black sacks wrapped in transparent foil in brown packages on pallets, and then loaded onto a truck, and then a drawing of where the pallets are located inside the container, two of which are marked with arrows...
Ojdanić then explains: "But these 2 pallets first... 2 pallets are all real goods, let them bring extra stamps if they don't find the original stamp with the same number, brother. The workers must have 1 knife. The plastic must be cut"...
The SDT charges Milović and Ojdanić with having smuggled large quantities of cocaine in an organized manner and internationally since 2019.
According to prosecutors, the members of this criminal group, in addition to Vojinović (55) and Mijajlović (56), were Filip Zindović Kljajević (37), Vuk Banićević (45), Vlado Banićević (44), Nebojša Bugarin (46), Petar Lazović (36), Radoje Zvicer (44), Božidar Jabučanin (49), Milan Popović (43) and Vladimir Bajčeta (46).
Investigators claim that the criminal organization of Milović and Ojdanić operated in the territories of Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Ecuador, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Turkey, as well as other countries in Europe and South America.
According to the claims of special prosecutors, members of that crime team included the accused members of the police drug cartel Ivan Stamatović, Marko Novaković, Miloš Mišurović, Aleksandar Keković, Vladimir Bajčeta, Goran Stojanović, Dražen Milović, Ivan Nikolić, Tihomir Adžić, Dejan Knežević, Milo Božović, Bojan Ojdanić, Radovan Perović and several unidentified persons.
There is room for everyone.
Special prosecutors and investigators from the Special Police Department have deciphered who was involved in just over a ton of cocaine seized in March 2021 in Belgium.
Messages from the once-protected Sky app show that Zvicer's share is 30 kilograms.
"How much will you increase the number of arrests or detentions?" Milović asked him on February 9, and Zvicer replied: "I can now that it's come up, but I also don't want to press anyone."
After Milović told him not to press too hard and that he would turn it up if the Kotor native wanted, Zvicer wrote to him - "Turn it up then and see what happens"...
"Oh, 30 then," Milović wrote, and Zvicer replied, "It's possible"...
Correspondence between Milović and Lazović shows that the former secret agent had 22 kilograms of cocaine in that delivery.
A detailed list, however, was with the chief accountant of the police drug cartel, police officer Ivan Stamatović.
It was to him that Miović had been sending messages for days:
“20 Duško paid, 30 Hektor, 30 Born, 22 Junior, 10 Bobo paid, 10 Štetni, 5 Hulk, 2 Paja, 5 Bosna paid one, 3 Pop, 5 Batica, 2 Britvaš, 5 Banići, 3 Bug, 2 Aco M, 3 CG, 152 Ja - (98)”...
Stamatović sent him messages and invoices for several people on the same day, regarding quantities and payments for cocaine...in cocaine smuggling they are referred to as "bankers".
Correspondence between Mileta and Bojan Ojdanić shows that a certain Duci had 20 pieces in the shipment...
Vojinović and Zindović's calculation
Correspondence from Skaje between Zindović and Vojinović, conducted from February 14 to 19, including messages exchanged between Zindović and Milović, which the latter forwarded to his interlocutor, shows that their share was 25 kilograms....
"This one sailed, I thought it would be the rest for next weekend, because they didn't let me know and that one sailed. 25 of these that came out. We had 25 again, next weekend we're doing the same new job so I'll see how much we'll put in, but maybe the same, 125.000 is for these 25 that are on the water, I gave that and I've already given them another 100.000 for the third job now that will be in 10 days and 600.000 we have up or down a little bit of what came out. But besides the two that I gave money to, this MSC is going and another one and Australia. If these 25 that are on the water will come out, and there will be around 600.000 there and what is being sold now is the same amount. I think we should try, 25-15% = 21.25 x 25.820 = €548.675. That's our calculation for what has already come out, so let me just pass it on to you. This time on the water we are 25 kg, then the MSC job is 30 kg and Australia is 30 kg... All you have to do is know, and I will write"...
By analyzing the communication between Milović and Zindović, as well as between Zindović and Vojinović, investigators came up with evidence that the 25 kilograms of cocaine "represents the joint share of the defendants Filip Zindović and Vukašin Vojinović."
