    I. KLAN AMERIKA - THE BEGINNING

                                                                                                    Don Bosko Radonjic, the Westies leader in late 1980s & close associate of John Gotti

     

    Bosko Radonjic, a Serbian nationalist émigré who participated in the bombing of a Yugoslavian diplomat’s home in suburban Chicago in 1975. and who later became an associate of the Gambino Crime Family boss John Gotti, died on March 31 in Belgrade, Serbia. He was 67.

     

    Already known to Yugoslav state security UDBA, Radonjić's activities began to be monitored even more closely by its agents. In 1975, Radonjić took part in a bombing at the Yugoslav mission to the United Nations in which no one was hurt. In 1978, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in the 1975 bombing of a Yugoslavian consul's home and for plotting to bomb a Yugoslav social club, both in Chicago.

     

    Upon his release in 1982, Radonjić moved back to New York's West Side and began working as a minor associate of Jimmy Coonan. He seized control of the gang following the imprisonment of many of the Westies leadership during the late 1980s. Under his leadership, he was able to reestablish the Westies' former working relationship with the Gambino Crime Family under John Gotti, and was involved in the jury tampering during Gotti's original 1986 trial for racketeering. One of the jurors, George Pape, didn't disclose that he was a friend of Radonjić during jury selection. After he was empanelled, he let it be known that he was willing to sell his vote to help acquit Gotti. Gambino capo and future underboss Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano paid Pape $60,000 to guarantee at least a hung jury. Pape was convicted for his misconduct in 1992 and sentenced to three years in prison.

    Radonjić supervised Westie underling Brian Bentley's highly successful burglary ring using two Hispanic gang members until the arrest of Pavle Stanimirović and his group in the early 1990s. He was an associate of Vojislav Stanimirović and his son, Pavle (aka Paul Montana, aka Punch), of the YACS organization. Later investigations under Michael G. Cherkasky, chief of the Investigations Division of the District Attorney's Office, would eventually force Radonjić to flee the United States for good in 1992 to avoid prosecution.

                                                                                                                      "Eight shots in general", title in newspapers "ПОЛИТИКА", day after the assassination of police general

     

    On June 10, 2002, police general Bosko Buha was killed at the Hotel "Yugoslavia" in New Belgrade. An investigation of General Buha's killing led police to Maksimovic and his group, who were identified as suspects of the crime. Four months after the murder, Maksimovic's associates Nikola Maljkovic, Vladimir "Karlos" Jaksic and Dragan "Limar" Ilic were arrested in Belgrade. Police failed to arrest Zeljko Maksimovic, but an Interpol arrest warrant was issued.


    The trial for General Buha's murder began in September 2003, and the first trial was held in the Special Organized Crime Court. It ended the following year with the acquittal, and the
    judge's explanation was that "there was no convincing evidence to confirm that the accused members of the Zeljko Maksimovic Maka's group killed police general Bosko Buha and planned terrorist attacks on representatives of the government officials."

     

     

    II. KLAN AMERIKA - THE INHERITORS

     

    mNB0WRs.png

     

    Klan Amerika was ruled by two undisputed leaders at the time, who are still pulling all the strings to this day; Mileta Miljanic and Zoran Jaksic. The two first migrated to USA in early 1980s where they worked as private security of forementioned Don Bosko Radonjic.
    Miljanic, who was the first in the Serbian underworld to be called Don Corleone, has served jail sentences in several European countries that have linked him to overseas cocaine smuggling. He served in Greece, Italy, and after his release, settled in America. He was last publicly seen in 2016, on a visit to the Orthodox Church of St. Sava in New York, which was burned in a fire.

    Unlike Miljanic, who has been free for a long time, his chief associate, Zoran Jaksic, was not so lucky.
    Large narcotics shipments from South America to Europe were associated with his name. Jaksic was arrested in Peru in 1998 when he was sentenced to five years in prison. Zoran was also arrested in Germany, in 2004, when nine kilograms of narcotics were found in his vehicle. At the request of Interpol, he was put in a prison in Madrid, from where he was transfered to Argentina, but managed to escape from prison.


    Jaksic was last arrested in July 2016 in a DEA operation, when he tried to flee from Peru to Ecuador with false documents. During the investigation, it was found that Zoran had used 46 identities while hiding in South America, which made him known by the local media as a "man with a thousand faces". Due to narcotics smuggling, extortion, abduction, but also as an organized group leader, Jaksic was sentenced to 20 years in a Peruvian prison.


    The business of the Klan Amerika, however, did not stop. According to a report by security institutions, Zeljko "Maka" Maksimovic is the leader of one of the Klan's factions, with bases in Dominican Republic and South Africa. Maksimovic, a high ranked member, took over most of Klan's jobs after Jaksic's arrest.

     

     

    II.I ZORAN JAKSIC - EL SERBIO

    The world got a little smaller on July 17, 2016.

     

    That evening, the media in Peru and Serbia, countries in different parts of the world, had the same breaking story — a global drug trafficker, who had been on the run from justice for years and used almost 40 identities, was finally caught.

    Serbian citizen Zoran Jaksic, one of the key members of the international criminal group "America", tried to hide his face from television and police cameras during his arrest. Four policemen, each a head shorter than him, held him so he wouldn't run away.

    Jaksic's arrest was the grand finale of a year-long police operation that could not have been predicted to be so successful. Police officers in Peru did not expect that an investigation into local criminal groups would send second-in-command man from one of the most powerful international drug-trafficking organizations to Europe behind bars.

    "Most European criminal organizations want cocaine from Peru because of the high quality." says Alejandro Oviedo Echevarria, head of the Dirandro police organization that arrested Jaksic, whom KRIK and OCCRP journalists spoke to in his office in Lima.


    Peruvian cocaine is very cheap and makes astronomical profits when sold in Europe. Thus, Jaksic bought a kilogram of cocaine for 1,650 dollars (less than 1,500 euros), and sold it in Europe for as much as 35,000 euros.

    Journalists from KRIK, the international journalist organization OCCRP and the Czech portal Investigace reviewed thousands of pages of court documents, interviewed prosecutors, police officers, intelligence officers, spoke with people from the criminal milieu, and even with Jaksic himself in prison in Peru. Based on the collected information, the journalists were able to reconstruct Jaksic's role in the "Klan Amerika", his connections with Peruvian drug organizations, as well as the police action in which he was arrested, and publish hitherto unknown details.

     

     

    SWALLOW HUNTING

     

    At the beginning of 2016, the Peruvian police were busy busting the "Golondrinas" ("Swallows"), local drug traffickers who got their name because they used small planes to transport cocaine to Brazil, from where it was smuggled by ship. The police believed that it was a regional operation led by several local families and had no idea that they would run into Zoran Jaksic.


    "We had no idea that such a big player was involved." a Peruvian police officer working on the case told KRIK/OCCRP reporters. "There are no players like him in Peru.", "He is the Champions League."

     

    The presence of Jaksic, one of the key people of the "Klan Amerika", in that country changed the way the drug trade works in it. Before his arrival, the Peruvian cocaine market was controlled by small families, not international groups or cartels.

    "Peruvian criminals only produce cocaine, which means they are the least active in the entire chain." said the investigator, who spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons.

    "Peruvians have never established international ties and contacts.", "That's why they need people like Jaksic, who make it possible for Peruvian cocaine to be sold in the world."

     

     

    THE TALL MAN IN LIMA

     

    The "Golondrinas" investigation focused on three families: Rojas Vilcatoma, Medina Gavilan and Soto Cordova.

    These families bought cocaine from coca growers, packed it in crates and took it to the Peruvian capital, Lima, where they sold the drug wholesale to smugglers who exported it out of the country. During 2016, the affairs of these families were managed by Jorge Hota Medina Gavilan and he did it from Lurigancho prison in Lima, where he was imprisoned for drugs. Even though he was in prison, Hota still managed the business — by phone and with the help of his brother Fernando.


    Hota, however, did not know that the police were eavesdropping on him, so he was not always careful. During one conversation, the police heard him say to Fernando: "The foreigner wants to buy.", "You will recognize him by his height. He is very tall."

    This description will be enough for the police to recognize the party without any problems despite the crowd in "Starbucks" in February 2016. More than two meters tall, bald and white-skinned, Jaksic stood out among the Peruvians.

    Jaksic was introduced to these three families by Soto Cordova, a Peruvian drug dealer whom he met more than a decade ago, while he was serving a five-year prison sentence, to which he was sentenced after being arrested in Peru in 1998 for drug trafficking.

    Because of his appearance that distinguishes him from most Peruvians, but also because of his simple daily routine, it was easy for the police to follow him: from his room at the Hotel "Caminos del Inca" in Lima, he usually went to the gym, then to a restaurant, then back to Hotel.

    Eavesdropping on his phone conversations, however, was much more difficult.

    Jaksic used payphones and a secure, encrypted system on his mobile phone, so the police could not intercept his calls.

    Moreover, the police officers initially did not even know who the "tall man" was, especially because Jaksic used as many as 40 different identities, mostly fake passports of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

     

    Nevertheless, the police officers learned from the wiretapped conversations of Peruvian criminals that Jaksic wanted to buy three tons of cocaine.

    It was only after an underworld source told them that the "tall man" had previously been in a Peruvian prison that the police were able to discover his true identity.

    "It wasn't that difficult to ask around the prisons about a two-meter tall, muscular, bald, white-skinned man." the policeman told OCCRP/KRIK reporters. "People remembered him."

    They discovered that his name is Zoran Jaksic. Then they learned from Interpol that he was wanted by Argentina, Germany and Greece.

     

    In August 2016, KRIK and OCCRP journalists were in front of a prison on the outskirts of Lima.

    It was Wednesday and they were told that was the day only women could visit the prisoners. That day is known as "sex day" and wives, girlfriends, mistresses and prostitutes are allowed to visit them in their cells.

     

    The journalist, dressed in shorts and a T-shirt, had to change her "outfit" in order for the guards to let her in — for a few dollars, she bought flip-flops, a T-shirt and a short skirt and entered the prison to talk to one of the leaders of the notorious "America Group".

    The guards at the entrance asked her for a bribe ("propina"), which the journalist did not want to pay. When they heard who she was visiting, they let her in.

    She no longer saw the guards in the prison building. One prisoner took him to Jaksic.

    However, he was in no mood to talk.

    "I hate journalists.", "I don't give interviews.", he said at first, but he still accepted her proposal that, since she had already managed to reach him, they should have a short talk and let her go to his cell.

     

    He was alone in the cell, and its interior was reminiscent of discos from the '90s of the last century — dominated by black tiles, white leather pillows and tiger-stripe patterns.

    The money allowed Jaksic to have all the comforts that can be had in such an institution — a cell with a toilet, at least two mobile phones, a television, books...

    "Everything can be bought here. I have a television. They bring me all the food I want. A bottle of whiskey costs a hundred dollars plus tip. And here is my French perfume." he said.

     

    In prison, Jakšić also had books that revealed his inclination towards philosophy. That he was interested in this science could also be seen in 2006 when, during his arrest in Barcelona, the police found notes on him that refer to the works of Nietzsche and Kant. In prison in Peru, among other things, he read Seneca.

    "I like to read Seneca." I was extracting passages from the book the last time I was in prison. "I lost one page, so now I'm reading it again.", he explained.

    Jaksic talked with the journalist about various topics — philosophy, history, other prisoners, and the corruption that reigns in the prison. He did not want to talk about the "Klan Amerika" and himself. However, he explained that for international drug smuggling it is crucial to have good contacts around the world and compared it to the job of a journalist.

    "We work similar to you. When I need information about the drug market in Israel, I call Thiba and ask, 'Hey, Thiba, who is selling drugs wholesale in Israel?'", he said. "You know, just to get a glimpse of the business."

     

    When the journalist was leaving, Jaksic shouted: "Hey, the policeman to whom you refused to pay a bribe is now asking me to pay."

    Three years after this conversation, in February 2019, officials announced that Jaksic was planning an escape from the Miguel Castro Castro prison in Lima.

    "He intended to escape through the prison infirmary. In order to prevent his plan, we approved the transfer." said Ruben Ramon Ramos, director of the National Prison Institute in Peru.

     

    He said that Jaksic is now in "Piedras Gordas", a maximum security prison located north of Lima. Among the prominent residents of this overcrowded prison is a former regional governor convicted of corruption, as well as lawyers involved in the Brazilian Odebrecht corruption case.

     

    If he serves his twenty-five-year sentence, Jaksic should be extradited to Greece, which is looking for him for drug trafficking.
