Three forged travel documents were also seized: of Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, as well as three pistols

As many as ten men from Serbia, the closest associates of Dario Djordjevic aka Dekster, the alleged leader of the Austrian branch of the Kavac Clan (a Montenegrin crime group), were arrested in Austria, in a operation led by the FBI. More than 15 kilograms of various narcotics were also seized.

Apart from Dekster himself, who is linked to at least three murders, but also other crimes, A.P., P.B., M.H., N.S., L.C., T.J., P.S., P.M., D.S. and M.D. were arrested. All are suspected of being members of the largest criminal group selling heroin, cocaine and synthetic drugs in Austria and Serbia, writes Blic.

During the search of the premises that the suspects used in Austria, the police, as announced by the Organized Crime Prosecution, seized 9.45 kilograms of heroin, 5.23 kilograms of cocaine, 0.553 grams of marijuana, but also 106,376 euros.

"Three forged travel documents were seized: of Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia and three pistols," said the Organized Crime Prosecution.

In parallel with the arrests in Austria, seven people were arrested in Serbia on suspicion of acting on Dekster's orders. All of them were found during Operation Trojan Shield, which was conceived by the FBI after the Serbian services found one of the encrypted phones used by a member of the criminal group led by Veljko Belivuk last year, and in cooperation with the FBI, they broke into the Sky app.

"One of the key roles in breaking into into the Sky system was played by our security services during the work on breaking up Belivuk's criminal group," a source said.

Criminals around the world who used Sky for communication, quickly had to find a new solution. In parallel, the FBI announced that it had launched an investigation against the Sky system. This was a strategic move that was supposed to force criminals to switch to a new app. Unaware that their communication was under FBI surveillance, the criminals switched to ANOM en masse.

The FBI launched this application among mobsters through a collaborator from the underground, while the story was that it was a new app made "by criminals for criminals" and the only safe one that is impossible to break into.

They spread the app first around Austria's "underground" and then from there it quickly spread to criminal circles around the world, including Serbian criminals.

It was also used by members of Veljko Belivuk's criminal group, and that is the way Serbian services obtained correspondence between clan members and photographs of the torture of their rivals, as well as gruesome footage of the beheading of one of the victims.
