In a two-hour interview with Serbian media, Dijana Hrkalović, the former Secretary of Internal Affairs, attempted to clarify how she ended up facing charges, attributing it to the influence of others. During the interview, she also reflected on her past relationships with certain individuals from 2007 and 2008, whose names, while seemingly insignificant to the general public, carry significant weight in law enforcement circles.
When the names Kića, Prela, and Kimi are mentioned, it raises immediate concerns among police officers. These are known figures from the world of football hooliganism, with criminal ties that suggest an uncomfortable connection. Despite this, Hrkalović's rise to power, which saw her pass the rigorous security clearance of the Serbian Information and Security Agency (BIA) in 2012, remains a baffling mystery, especially considering her close associations with notorious individuals involved in violent crimes.
She was notably close to these hooligans even before taking office at the BIA, frequently attending events and socializing with the leaders of the groups, all of whom were already on police radars for their criminal activities. The question that remains unanswered is how someone with such connections was able to secure a position within the highly secretive and secure BIA.
In her interview, Hrkalović named three notorious hooligan figures: Ljubomir Marković (Kića), Djordje Prelić (Prela), and Milos Radisavljević (Kimi), all of whom have extensive criminal records and are well known to Serbian police officers. Marković, for example, was involved in numerous violent incidents, including a notorious 2009 attack on French football fans, which resulted in the murder of Brice Taton in Belgrade.
Hrkalović also discussed her relationship with Marković, who was murdered in 2019 after returning from a football match. She claimed that the Belivuk clan was behind his killing, though she withheld this information from authorities for three years. Despite her knowledge or suspicions about the involvement of the Belivuk group, she did not report it to the police at the time. This silence is particularly striking given that it was widely believed, immediately after Marković's death, that his murder was related to a previous conflict with Veljko Belivuk, a member of the criminal group who had accused Marković of betrayal.
Marković, a leader of the "Alcatraz" fan group, had long been associated with violent and criminal activities, and his ties to the fan base of Partizan were well-known. The murder of Marković is not surprising given his troubled history with Belivuk, a situation that has raised many questions about Hrkalović's involvement and actions during this time.
The reign of fear of "Alcatraz" ended immediately after Taton's murder, which was one of the rare cases when the Serbian state reacted harshly to the rampage of the hooligans, although not willingly, but there was pressure from outside. Among those convicted was Markovic, who initially received 30 years in prison, but later his sentence was reduced to 15 years. He was released from prison in 2017 and it is interesting that he was imprisoned in Sremska Mitrovica, and not in Zabela, which is considered a stricter prison.
When Kiça came out of prison, in the stands was the group of fans "Janjiçari", which was later called "Principi", headed by Veljko Belivuk and Aleksandar Stankovic, called Sale Mutavi.
Once freed, he could choose to side with Belivuk or remain in conflict with him. Kiça allegedly tried to form a new group of fans and it all ended with his murder in November 2019.
Markovic's godfather is Prela, who was also one of the leaders of "Alcatraz", imprisoned for participating in the murder of Brice Taton, although he was sentenced to 10 years for participating in the attack on French fans that ended with the death of Brice Taton. he was released from prison after 6 years of suffering.
Milloh Radisavljevic was chased out of the stadium by Veljko Belivuk's group and would probably have been liquidated if they had managed to catch him. He was in charge of the "Partizanovci" fans and was allegedly part of the attack on the "Principi" group when there was an attempt to change power in the stands during a derby.
Kimi became known for threatening the journalist Brankica Stanković, who dealt with Partizan fans on the show "Insajder", so he was sentenced to 16 months in prison for violent behavior and endangering the safety of the journalist.
On the other hand, Hrkalović in 2008 joined the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) led by Aleksandar Vučić and indicated that in 2012 he had attacked some colleagues of the party, seriously injuring two activists. Nor did that criminal complaint prevent him from checking in the BIA.
It would be said that her acquaintance with hooligans, even those convicted of murder and serious crimes, was not an aggravating circumstance, but a recommendation for both the party and the police. It is during her tenure that hooligan fans turn into a serious criminal organization, side by side with notorious drug clans.
The connection between the state and the fans of Partizan reached its maximum precisely at the moment when Hrkalović was "uniform" in the Serbian police. The fact that some of the people close to the hooligans secured the first inauguration ceremony of Vucic is also interesting. /Telegraph/
