TL;DR

Živko Bakić, identified as a former footballer and leader of the "Balkan Cartel," was murdered on January 16th in Sopot.
His murder occurred only a week before his scheduled appearance in a Special Court trial for cocaine smuggling.
Investigators and parts of the public suspect Bakić was killed to prevent him from testifying about international drug trafficking routes, associates, and the cartel's role in a major European cocaine seizure.
The case Bakić was set to testify in involves the smuggling of 324 kilograms of cocaine from South America to Europe, with the group being dismantled in September 2023.
A lawyer confirmed that any criminal proceedings against an indicted person automatically cease upon their death.
Bakić is the second victim from this criminal group; Saša Momčilović was previously murdered in Marbella.
Bakić was under house arrest with electronic monitoring at the time of his death.
He was previously arrested in Spain in 2016 and extradited to Serbia.
Bakić was also known in Belgrade's football fan underworld.
