Bosnian mob boss Edin Gačanin, has been arrested for the second time in Dubai and may now face extradition to the Netherlands.
The Dutch State Prosecutor’s Office had filed criminal charges against Edin Gačanin, who is suspected of smuggling 2,500 kilograms of cocaine, worth tens of millions of euros, into the ports of Rotterdam and Hamburg.
Gačanin’s defense attorneys have reached plea agreements with the State Prosecutor’s Office, to forgo the trial in hopes of a reduced sentence of 7 years in prison and a €1 million fine.
Now, it has been confirmed by a spokesperson for the Dutch prosecution that the drug lord was arrested in February this year in Dubai at the request of the Netherlands.
"The Netherlands has also filed a request for extradition. We expect the procedure to be carried out without any problems," the spokesperson said.
Euro Super Cartel
Dutch media outlet Ad.nl reports that Edin Gačanin was one of the key figures in an international “Super Cartel” in Dubai, which, according to judicial authorities, included Riduan Taghi, Italian Camorra trafficker Raffaele Imperiale, and the notorious Irish Kinahan crime family. The Super Cartel is said to be responsible for a third of the cocaine trade from South America to Europe.
Gačanin was one of the Super Cartel members at Daniel Kinahan’s wedding in 2017 at the Burj al Arab hotel in Dubai along with the now imprisoned Imperiale and Taghi.
He had been arrested in November 2022 in Dubai after his extradition was requested by the Netherlands but released some months later when the bid failed.
Last year Gačanin was described as "one of the world’s most prolific drug traffickers” in an announcement by the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.

The ‘Tito and Dino’ Cartel tried to gain political influence in Bosnia and Herzegovina with the aim of “taking over the state.”
The gang was targeted in an operation led by the Bosnia and Herzegovina State Investigation and Protection Agency with the FBI, the DEA and Europol. Police arrested 23 people, including senior law enforcement officers, as part of the operation.
They said that as part of this plan they contacted local politicians and offered financial support.
They also say members of the criminal group advised setting up citizens’ associations to achieve political influence, and messages decrypted from the Sky messaging app showed they were often interested in the political situation.
Last May, Bosnia and Herzegovina dismissed their honorary consul in Panama over his suspected links to Gačanin. The office of the country’s presidency acted on the suggestion of politician Željka Cvijanović to sack Fatih Kol, who is suspected of being part of the ‘Tito and Dino’ cartel.
The Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina unanimously voted for the dismissal of Kol, local media reported at the time.
According to the Sarajevo Times, the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina suspects Kol of being part of the organized criminal group led at the international level by Gačanin, and in the country by Adnan Smajlović.
“Kol was not in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the time of this action, so he could not be arrested, but his name is included in the proposal for detention or prohibition measures against members or collaborators.” the Times reported.

ReplyDeleteWhat is so important about a training camp? This was attempt to buy a country that is sliding downwards due to the war in the 90s.
DeleteEveryone is always talking about Mexican cartels being really powerful. The real big heavy hitters are in Europe and the Middle East. Mexican cartels are nothing compared to those super cartels. Those guys push some serious money. The cartel leaders in Mexico are uneducated former farmers that can't even speak proper Spanish. They are low trash garbage. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDeleteCouch potatoe Nuffy, kiss my grits.
DeleteDumbest thing ever said on bb nuff said !!!
DeleteIf I ever met this nuff said fella in person I’d love to have him lace up the gloves with me all I need is a round and I’ll have him knocked out cold like Marquez did Pacquio
DeleteNo 341" CDS is the lesser of the evil "takes the dumbest comment cake.
DeleteThat's a negative chief nuffy .... Nuff Said!!!
DeleteNuffy ruffling some serious feather.
Delete@418
DeleteAre you gonna put cement in your gloves like Margarito?
Yes many are uneducated, but you don't need an education to make illegal money.
DeleteLet me bust your bubble.
I am sure your education is far above some cartel leaders, I'm not gonna doubt that.
But their income is far above yours and I'm also not going to doubt that!.
Those Euro Cartels wouldn't be as rich without their providers on this side of the world who by the way still have a higher income. Even a simple Google search can tell you that.
4:18pm Bring it on my boy. You won't last two minutes with the Nuffmister. I've been a superhero for over three decades. I am an expert in hand to hand combat and an expert in martial arts. Not to mention all of my gadgets in my Nuff Belt. Nuff Said!!!
DeleteNuffs an expert in martial arts.
DeleteNot so much in the marital arts, though.
Wife Buffy's got a roving eye, and is looking around for a less limp-dicked hubby!.
Stay tuned..
Yet they all bow to mexican cartels. Ⓜ️Ⓜ️
DeleteEveryone is always talking about mexican cartels!! Europe Super Cartels are better!!!! What part of Europe are from? Viva Europe cabrones.....fierro para el Nuff Said !!!
DeleteThere's that central american hate for successful Mexicans. LOL
DeleteEast Euro traffickers are temu Russians

ReplyDeleteNot really, no period kid.

DeleteWord on the streets is that Sicario006 was on his security team.
ReplyDeleteWord on the actual streets is this slav from Denver, aka Jocic, and his two brothers work with los Chapitos.
DeleteWord on the streets....the Midget Cartel is disbanding, due to too much heat from Trump.
DeleteWe need Papa Trump to intervene in Europe drug trade also. He'll put a stop to it.
ReplyDeleteNow that we've dispensed with the small fry we can discuss real G's. Luce Cannon, Bricc Baby and BigU of the Rollin' 60's have been arrested on RICO charges. Since Surenos are allowed to snitch on black people, it wouldn't be surprising if the Southsiders were singing to the Feds.
ReplyDeleteThere are no real Black G’s anywhere. Blacks snitch on themselves while trying to flex on podcasts. La Eme controls every prison in North America, blacks gangs also know who controls the streets.
DeleteBlack Guerrilla Family commands respect.
Delete837pm you haven't done time in the TDCJ and it shows. eme is dead AF, puro tango blast ese.
DeleteEdin Gacanin Tito made probably hundreds of milions euros and his organization is not connected to any fucking murders *except drugs addicts who died because his drugs.While in mexico to be any kind od dealer you have to be murdering bastard who kills everbody.Thats difference.
