An investigation by the civil police (judicial) of the Brazilian city of Santos, located on the coast of the state of São Paulo, which could well serve as a script for a film, revealed that on the 5th a foreign national was shot dead upon arrival home. was very far from who he said he was. Posing as Slovenian citizen Dejan Kovan, a 43-year-old carpenter who lived peacefully with his wife and four-year-old son, both Brazilians, the man was in fact a hitman wanted throughout Europe and whose name The Present was on Interpol’s so-called “Red Diffusion” , the list of the most wanted criminals.
The supposed Slovenian carpenter, who had a Slovenian passport under a false name, was in fact Serbian citizen Darko Geisler. Serbian police accused him of being a professional killer linked to one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the Eastern European country, and would be responsible for killing rival criminals, disgraced members of the organization and other victims whom the mafia group decided to kill. eliminate.
According to what Sao Paulo civil police were able to determine, Darko fled to Brazil after executing one of the trusted men of the head of a rival Serbian mafia organization, and was therefore sentenced to death by the gang to which his victim belonged. . In another Eastern European country, Montenegro, Darko was also found to have police reports for illegal use of weapons of a prohibited caliber and possession of explosives, which he used in his criminal activities.
The crime of which Darko himself was a victim occurred on the 5th, at dusk, when he was returning from a bicycle ride along the Santos promenade with his four-year-old son, protected in a safety seat, and his wife. When he stopped his bicycle near the three-story house where he lived, on San Jose Street, in the Embare district, another man, also on a bicycle, suddenly approached and shot the Serb six times at close range.
Neighbors called an ambulance, but Darko died on the way to the hospital from cardiac arrest, and his son, who fell off his bike with him, received minor scratches.
At first it looked like just another civilian murder in a major Brazilian city, but investigations began to change that scenario. When reporting to the Slovenian Embassy about the death of Dejan Kovan, whose name is listed on the passport, agents were told that the real Dejan was alive, and the document used by the victim was lost or stolen in 2017 and had already been cancelled.
Following this information, the Brazilian police conducted a thorough investigation on the Internet, using a photograph of the dead man and his physical characteristics, and established his real identity and what he had been doing. Like the agents, the neighbors were also amazed to learn that Darko was a professional killer wanted by Interpol, as he was always polite and kind to his neighbors and truly seemed to be the peaceful head of the family.
Darko’s Brazilian wife did not make much contribution to the investigation, but she is not accused of anything. According to her, the couple had been together for a little over four years and she knew nothing about her husband’s past and did not ask him, because, according to her, what he did or did not do before meeting her does not matter. to her.
