The Special Department of the Higher Court in Belgrade has convicted Darko Erceg’s eight-member gang to a total of 38 years in prison. The crime group was found guilty of the charges related to cocaine and heroine smuggling. Drug gang gets total of 38 years in prison As the organizer, Erceg was found guilty and sentenced to 12 years, while Zivorad Djordjevic received a seven-year sentence. Hikmet Hajrovic was sentenced to five and a half years in prison. Unlike Erceg and Djordjevic, he was released from custody, but is not allowed to leave his place of residence and must report to police twice a month Other members of the group, just like during the trial, will not be remanded in custody until the ruling becomes effective. Bojan Milkovic was sentenced to three years in prison, while Nurko Nurkovic received four. Collaborating witness Boban Tasic has been acquitted. The court has established that Erceg organized the gang in 2006 and that the goal was to distribute narcotics in the long term, in order to gain unlawful profit, Judge Vladimir Vucinic said as he read the verdict today. Erceg acquired the drugs which were then diluted and packed into 500-gram-packages, to be sold by other members of the group. They were hiding the drugs inside car batteries while they transporting them to the Western European market, said the judge in his ruling. During his arrest in March 2007, police found 26.72 kilograms of heroin and 2.35 kilograms of cocaine in Erceg’s home. The house was temporarily seized in October of last year and the Belgrade municipality of Zvezdara now uses it. It is estimated that the drugs were worth more than on million euros in the black market.
