Drug lord Edin Gačanin, known as Tito, made an agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office in the Netherlands in November last year and was sentenced to seven years in prison and a fine of one million euros for drug smuggling.
Edin Gačanin is the biggest Balkan drug lord, who has Dutch citizenship, and has been on the American “blacklist” since March last year.
A native of Sarajevo, Gačanin included members of his family and friends from Bosnia and Herzegovina in his cartel.
