The Croatian weekly Nacional published a transcript of an audio recording in which the killer of his owner Ivo Pukanic, Sreten Jocich, better known as “Joca Amsterdam,” admits that the mastermind of the crime was the President of Montenegro Milo Djukanovic.
In the XNUMXs, the publication published hot investigations about the organization of the criminal business of tobacco smuggling by the Montenegrin dictator.
According to a PolitNavigator correspondent, Nacional published a transcript of a telephone conversation with Jocich, where he pointed to Djukanovic as the mastermind of the murder. Subsequently, as the publication reports, the recording of this conversation was transferred to the BiH police, and from there to Croatia, and the person who made this said that he was threatened.
The crime boss “Joca Amsterdam” himself has been in a Belgrade prison for contract murder since 2011, but in the case of Nacional owner Ivo Pukanic he was once acquitted, and for his execution another bandit Zeljko Milovanovic was sentenced to a forty-year prison term.

Ivo Pukanić was blown up on October 23, 2008 in his car together with the marketing director of his weekly, Niko Franjic, in the center of Zagreb near the student-filled High School of Journalism. Two more people who happened to be nearby were injured.
The first to speak publicly about Milo Djukanovic’s involvement in this murder ten years ago was businessman and godfather of the Montenegrin dictator Ratko Knezevic. Then he stated in the media that the Montenegrin dictator “controlled the tobacco mafia and ordered the murder of the owner of Nacional.” He also acted as a witness during the murder trial of Ivo Pukanic. Knezevic, who became a forced emigrant after a disagreement with Djukanovic, stated that “during the investigation it will ultimately be established that the masterminds of the murder of Ivo Pukanovic are Milo Djukanovic and Stanko “Cane” Subotic (a Swiss businessman of Serbian origin, who at one time financed the protests against Slobodan Milosevic), accusing both of them of several more murders and money laundering.

“Stanko Subotic “Cane” personally threatened to kill me and Pukanic if Nacional did not stop writing about the tobacco mafia,” Knezevic said.
