The Serbian Ministry of Interior stated that the police tracked down an organised criminal group that dealt with international cigarette smuggling from China, Croatia and Dubai.
Members of the criminal group were transporting forged cigarette brands from China, Croatia and Dubai to the ports of Bar, Bari and Rijeka, and from there to Serbia, through Hungary and towards western Europe.
Leader and financer of this organised criminal group is Anton Stanaj, and the members, who were direct executors of his orders and completely dependent upon him are Pajo Juric, Stevan Stevanovic, Erik Karaconji, Slavica Juric, Srecko Milanovic and others.
The police are looking for the remaining members of the group.
