| dbo:abstract | Dragan 'Jokso' Joksović (born August 11, 1956, in Pljevlja, PR Montenegro, FPR Yugoslavia, died February 4, 1998, in Stockholm, Sweden), was a Swedish-Montenegrin mobster. The police believed that Joksović could be called the Stockholm "gangster king", being largely suspected in controlling cigarette smuggling into Sweden and Denmark. Brought to court many times, he wasn't able to be convicted with any offense other than minor drug offenses, assault and abuse of judicial procedure. He was murdered at the Solvalla Horse Racing Track in Stockholm February 4, 1998 by Finnish hitman Janne Raninen. His nose was broken and he was shot to death at three meters' distance. Janne surrendered himself to two security guards working in the restaurant where the shooting took place. Although Raninen claims to have shot four shots, two staff at the betting booth Joksović was murdered in front, were also hit by bullets from the shooting, suggesting more shots were fired. Both staff members were taken to hospital, one had been penetrated in the arm by a bullet and the other had been grazed by a bullet. A bystander in the queue to the betting booth was also hit in the shoulder by a bullet. Joksović's family moved to Titograd shortly after his birth. He grew up in Titograd together with Lazo Delević, with whom he also earned a reputation as a street fighter and muscleman. He came to Sweden in 1979 from the Former Yugoslavia, after beating a military officer in order to avoid prosecution, where he befriended Željko "Arkan" Ražnatović, another Serbian gangster and killer, who later became his godbrother. He owned several top restaurants in Stockholm and several race horses, going to the race track at least a couple of times a month. Jokso was good friends with associate mobster Ratko Đokić, and acted as mentor to current boss . Joksović's assassin shot him in the head twice at close range, then fired two more shots to the body. After his death, Arkan allegedly cried for the first time in his life, saying Jokso was God in Sweden. Joksović's killer was sentenced October 26, 2006 by the Helsinki Court of Appeal to life in prison. The murder of Dragan Joksović was the beginning of a Serbian gang war in Sweden. The hit on Jokso was made by one of Jokso's soldiers over money issues. Five months later on July 9, 1998, Kova was murdered with a submachine gun outside a Stockholm restaurant in broad daylight. Joksović was physically imposing, and is remembered as one of the strongest of Serbian gangsters. His most notable fight was with Đorđe Božović in the garden of Ratko Đokić's house in Zlatica neighbourhood of Podgorica. Although he backed down first, Giška later recounted that he was "the toughest man he ever fought".

Polisen ansåg att Joksović kunde kallas Stockholms "gangsterkung". Man kunde dock inte beslå honom med andra brott än ringa narkotikabrott, misshandel och övergrepp i rättssak. Han var även misstänkt för cigarettsmuggling. Han mördades på Solvalla i Stockholm 4 februari 1998 av , en då 20-årig man bördig från Finland, som sköt Joksović till döds från tre meters håll. Raninen greps på platsen, och dömdes senare till åtta års fängelse. Mordet blev upptakten till ett gangsterkrig inom restaurangbranschen. På kvällen 9 juli 1998 mördade fyra män en före detta torped på puben i Stockholm. Den 26 oktober 2006 dömdes Raninen till livstids fängelse av Helsingfors hovrätt för ett annat mord knutet till ett rån vid Arlanda i juli 2002. (sv) |
