The Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office (VJT) in Belgrade has officially expanded its investigation into the gruesome, premeditated murder of Aleksandar Nešović, aka “Baja,” who was executed inside the upscale “27” Restaurant in the Senjak neighborhood.
The latest prosecutorial update has sent shockwaves through local law enforcement, as two active police officers have been formally swept into the criminal file. Investigators revealed that the officers were physically standing right outside the venue when the fatal shots were fired, but actively chose to conceal the crime. The expanding case now targets a total of ten suspects, exposing a chilling sequence of betrayal, localized police complicity, and a meticulous, macabre cover-up that ended at the bottom of a concrete-filled barrel.
1. The Timeline of Betrayal: A Coordinated Execution Trap
The judicial reconstruction of May 12, 2026, details how the primary shooter utilized emotional manipulation to lure Nešović back into a fatal bottleneck.
The Fatal Timetable of May 12, 2026
[ 22:45 CET ] ──► THE INITIAL FRICTION
• Nešović arrives in his black BMW X7. Inside, he encounters long-time rival Saša Vuković
(aka "Boske"). Following a tense verbal exchange, Nešović retreats to his car to drive home.
[ 23:02 CET ] ──► THE EMOTIONAL LURE
• Vuković calls Nešović's mobile phone, crying and swearing on his children's lives that
he wants to reconcile, pleading: "Why are you frowning at your brother?"
[ 23:08 – 23:14 CET ] ──► RETURNING UNARMED
• Trusting Vuković's tearful appeals, Nešović turns his vehicle around and walks back
into Restaurant 27 completely unprotected, sitting at Vuković's table.
[ 23:30 CET ] ──► THE AMBUSH FIRED
• Following a brief argument, Vuković draws a 9x19mm caliber pistol and unloads a hail
of bullets into Nešović, causing mass panic among restaurant staff and guests.
2. Institutional Complicity: Officers Moonlighting as Underworld Guards
The most damaging aspect of the expanded VJT indictment exposes structural rot within the Belgrade police force, implicating field officers and the highest echelons of local police management.

“Aleksandar Nešović Baja succumbed rapidly on-site due to catastrophic blood loss triggered by multiple high-velocity projectiles severing core thoracic and abdominal organs, as well as soft tissues across his neck and torso.”

3. The Macabre Cleanup: Encased in Concrete
The sheer scale of the logistical effort deployed to erase the crime scene demonstrates a highly organized network. Following the execution, a specialized cleanup crew moved in to completely sanitize the restaurant.

[ THE RESTAURANT SWEEP ] ──► SCRUBBING THE SCENE
• Suspects Nenad L., Vuk Š., and Petar U. immediately destroyed broken inventory,
scrubbed blood trails, and carried Nešović's body out the back door.
[ JARKovac LAKE BURIAL ] ──► ENCASED IN CONCRETE
• Dejan S., Mario S., and Vuković transported the body to Jarkovac Lake. They shoved
the victim into a blue industrial barrel, poured wet concrete over him, and buried it.
[ THE DISCOVERY ] ──► GENDARMERIE STRIKE
• Following intense intelligence tracking, specialized units of the Serbian Gendarmerie
exhumed the concrete barrel nine days later, on May 21, 2026.
4. Prosecutorial Classifications & Criminal Charges
The Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office has systematically categorized the ten defendants based on their active roles in the murder, logistics, and subsequent flight from justice:
| Defendant Profile | Core Statutory Criminal Charge | Operational Evidence Seized |
| Saša Vuković (“Boske”) & Mario S. | Aggravated Murder in Co-perpetration (Art. 114) alongside illegal weapons trafficking and endangering public safety. | Ballistic matches from 9x19mm shells, forged Bosnian passports, and €10,000 in escape cash seized inside a Fiat Punto getaway car in Surčin. |
| Danka V. (Vuković’s Wife) | Aiding and Abetting Aggravated Murder. Transported and transferred the unregistered murder weapon to the shooters ahead of the ambush. | Direct communication logs and surveillance capturing her passing the firearm outside her residence. |
| Nenad L., Vuk Š., Petar U., & Jasna Ž. | Failure to Report a Crime (Art. 332) and Assisting an Offender After the Fact (Art. 333). | Discarded bags containing bloodied cleaning materials thrown over cliffs at Petlovo Brdo. |
| Chief Veselin M., Miloš J. (Officer), & Dušan V. (Officer) | Failure to Report a Felony and its Perpetrator by an Official (Article 332, Paragraph 2). | Internal police logs verifying their physical presence and deliberate omission of formal emergency radio calls. |
With the getaway driver, Dejan S., cracked by interrogators after his vehicle was isolated near Surčin alongside high-end luxury vehicle documentation (Audi Q8), prosecutors have successfully mapped out the entire command chain. The trial is expected to shed light on deeper ties between local police rings and elite restaurant syndicates operating in the capital.
