Ražnatović in a sentence

Security services also wiretapped Ražnatović shortly before his murder; for four months the group allegedly followed Ražnatović's movements and whereabouts, learning his habits.

After war broke out in the former Yugoslav republic of Croatia in the fall of 1991 and in the republic of Bosnia and Hercegovina in April 1992, Ražnatović and his units moved to different territories in these countries.

Although Ražnatović was rearrested in the Netherlands on 24 October 1979, the few months he was free were enough for at least two more armed robberies in Sweden and three more in the Netherlands.

He spent part of his childhood in Zagreb (SR Croatia) and Pančevo (SR Serbia), before his father's job eventually took the family to the Yugoslav capital of Belgrade (SR Serbia), which Ražnatović considered his hometown.

In the postwar period after the Dayton agreement was signed, Ražnatović returned to his interests in sport and private business.

On 15 January 2008, the eighth anniversary of Ražnatović's death, his sister, Jasna Diklić, accused Andrija Drašković, a controversial businessman with alleged ties to the Mafia, of being behind her brother's murder.

Ražnatović asked Schiavone for arms for his guerrillas and the participation of Schiavone in quieting Albanian mobsters who were blocking his weapons route, and making money arrive in Serbia in the form of humanitarian aid.

Ražnatović came to serve as a popular icon for both Serbs and their enemies.

Ražnatović's first wife was Natalija Martinović, a Spanish language professor, with whom he had four children.

Ražnatović was, as stated above, on Interpol's Most Wanted list for nearly two decades.

Ražnatović was not there, so his mother called him and said that two unknown males waited for him.

Ražnatović was sentenced to 20 months in jail.
