Cocaine baron Darko Saric arrested and tried again In Serbia, Darko Saric, who was convicted of large-scale cocaine trafficking, has been re-arrested and brought to trial in a new criminal case. He is now suspected of ordering a liquidation and again for large-scale smuggling of cocaine. In addition to Saric, a number of co-defendants in Belgrade, including his lawyer Dejan Lazarevic, are on trial.
5.7 tons of cocaine International police organizations have been investigating Saric's network since 2009. He was himself arrested in 2014 and found guilty in Belgrade in 2018 of importing 5.7 tons of cocaine into Europe. He was jailed for 15 years. In 2020, his lawyers filed an appeal in cassation. And in 2021, his case was referred back to the Supreme Court on procedural grounds by the Supreme Court, a decision that sparked excitement in Serbia as openly questioned the integrity of a justice who previously served the case of a large cigarette smuggler, as it turned out on incorrect grounds. The US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) counted this Stanko “Cane” Subotic as one of Darko Saric's business partners.
In 2020, Saric was also sentenced to nine years in prison for money laundering, but he was released again.
Ecuador There is now a new case against Saric, and he was arrested this spring. He is said to have ordered the liquidation of a Serb in Ecuador. In January, Milan “Cigla” Milovac, 47, died in a hospital in Ecuador after being shot at. Saric is also said to have led a criminal organization that negotiated the purchase of cocaine for large-scale export to Europe between 2020 and April 14, 2022 in South America. Furthermore, Saric is suspected (among other things) with his lawyer that he has tried to influence and discredit witnesses with untrue statements.
According to the justice system, they also prepared false documents from the secret service that implied that the suspects worked for the secret service and should be left alone by the judiciary.
The evidence in the case comes from police cracked messages from the Sky ECC server. Saric would have liked to have been referred to by the alias Putin.
