Fugitive Vuk Vulević arrested in Belgrade with fake documents

Vuk Vulević, a man sought by Interpol for his alleged involvement with a criminal group linked to the Kavač clan, has reportedly been arrested in Belgrade. The Podgorica-based portal "Vijesti" reported that Vulević was apprehended in a restaurant while possessing false documents.

Sources have confirmed the arrest to "Vijesti," although neither Serbian nor Montenegrin police have officially commented. Vulević was allegedly carrying forged documents, specifically Kosovo identification cards bearing a different name. Initial assessments by authorities suggest a high degree of certainty that the arrested individual is the fugitive from Berane.

According to "Vijesti," Vulević was arrested by officers from the NCB Interpol Belgrade in a covert operation, acting on an arrest warrant issued by Montenegro. Police documents identify Vulević as the leader of an organized crime group in Berane, which allegedly maintains close ties with the Kavač clan.

An international Interpol red notice was issued for Vulević in September 2024, following an investigation opened by the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) in July of the same year as part of "Operation General." The SDT accused Vulević of being part of an international network, led by Radoje Zvicer and Vaso Ulić, that attempted to smuggle approximately 2.5 tons of cocaine from South America to Europe and Australia. Vulević had been on the run for two years, during which time locations in Montenegro were searched multiple times in an effort to find him. "Vijesti" reports that security services had intelligence in recent months indicating he was hiding in Serbia the entire time.

Serbian police are currently determining the identity, but according to initial data from the services, it can be confirmed with almost certainty that it is the fugitive from Berane.
