Read it:
Serbia, 1991 to 2026. Under sanctions, pyramid banks drained citizens' marks while the regime moved money to Cyprus. State-security officers were convicted of political murder, and a special-forces commander of organizing a prime minister's assassination. A cocaine broker's associate was filmed meeting the interior minister; a football gang's leader told a court his group served the state; intelligence officers stand accused of guarding a cannabis farm; and on a railway prosecutors say was corrupted, a station canopy fell and killed sixteen people. Why do so many cases end unanswered? Covers Darko Šarić and his cocaine network, Veljko Belivuk and the Principi, Milorad Ulemek and the Zemun clan, Željko Ražnatović and the Serb Volunteer Guard, Predrag Koluvija and the Jovanjica farm, and Aleksandar Vulin and the US sanctions against him.
