Zašto je ubijen Ivo Pukanić?

Berislav Jelinić

The best-selling Croatian journalistic book of 2009. The author, long-time journalist and editor of Nacional Berislav Jelinić (who succeeded Pukanić as head of the weekly), wrote it just a year after the assassination on October 23, 2008 in Zagreb.

The book is a detailed reconstruction of the last five years of Ivo Pukanić's life and at the same time a chronicle of Croatian organized crime in 2003-2008. Jelinić claims that Pukanić was killed because he became "too dangerously close" to the most powerful Balkan criminals (primarily with the group around Sreten Jocić-Joca Amsterdam and part of the "Zemun clan"), and at the same time he refused to keep quiet about their affairs.

Key theses:

  • Since 2005, Pukanić has been in a business-friendly relationship with Joco and his people; he received money for "protection" and PR texts.
  • In 2007, there was a conflict because Nacional published a series of articles about the murder of Ivica Stanimirović and the connection between the police and the mafia.
  • In the summer of 2008, Pukanić received an offer to "go into business" with the Balkan-EU cocaine route; he refused and threatened to publish everything.
  • The assassination was ordered by Sreten Jocić from a prison in the Netherlands; the perpetrators were members of the “clan” of Željko Milovanović (who was later arrested in Belgrade).

The book contains transcripts of wiretapped conversations, photographs from the investigation, Pukanić’s personal messages, and Jelinić’s thesis that the murder could have been prevented if the police had taken the threats seriously. Due to its explosive content, the book was withdrawn from sale after only a few months (due to the intervention of the SOA and some politicians), which only increased interest. Today it is a cult antiquarian copy and the most complete public document on the “black decade” of Croatian crime.
