Ratko "Cobra" Đokić (Serbian Cyrillic: Paткo Ђокић; died 2003) was a Montenegrin-Swedishmob boss, a leader of the so-called "Yugo Mafia" or Yugoslavian Brotherhood, composed of Yugoslavs in Sweden. He owned a boxing gym in a suburb of Stockholm. He was assassinated[clarification needed] in May 2003.
He was born into a Serbian Orthodox, Montenegrin family, during the late 1940s in Titograd, PR Montenegro, FPR Yugoslavia. He was the maternal cousin of Baja Sekulić, another businessman involved in cigarette smuggling.[1] He was a supporter of Momir Bulatović.[citation needed] Đokić grew up in Titograd where he earned reputation as a car racing enthusiast. He left for Sweden in 70's where he started his criminal career. As many Yugoslav gangsters, he was employed by the Yugoslav SDB for the purpose of eliminating political dissidents. His name was often connected to the assassination of Stjepan Đureković, some leaked documents even suggesting he killed him personally with a sword, although no formal charges were ever made.
Đokić returned to Yugoslavia in the 80's where he set up legal business as a high-rolling night club owner on Montenegrin littoral. He entered Yugoslav socialite circles, his relationship with Izolda Barudžija being highly covered in media. He organised an infamous illegal fight in his private house between "Giška" and "Jokso", the two strongest figures of the Yugoslav underworld. Towards the end of the 80's he set up a private security company in Dubrovnik, often providing bodyguards for the elite vacationing there. Croatian intelligence suspected him of being contracted for the assassination of politician Franjo Tuđman in 1990 together with Željko Ražnatović Arkan. Đokić owned an apartment in Zagreb, which was supposed to serve as the base of operations. However, the operation was abandoned, and Đokić then split parts with Arkan, with whom he closely operated previously.[2]
The beginning of the Yugoslav wars prompted him to leave Croatia and settle in Montenegro again, where he became highly involved in state-operated cigarettes smuggling. During the highly controversial Montenegrin presidential election in 1997 he openly supported former president Bulatović. After Bulatović lost, he was tipped off by his contacts in the police that the political climate was not warm for him anymore, so he reallocated yet again to Stockholm.[3]
On 4 February 1998, his close associate Dragan "Jokso" Joksović was assassinated at the Solvalla race track.[4] The hit man is a 20-year-old Finnish immigrant, hired by a formed associate Dragan "Kova" Kovač.[4] On 9 July 1998, Kova was killed with 40 bullets outside a Stockholm restaurant in broad day light.[4][5] His daughter Aleksandra married Milan Sevo,[4] a mobster dubbed the new figurehead of the Mafia after Jokso's assassination.[citation needed]
Feud with Rade Kotur
Đokić acted as a protector to Kotur's rivals, he also helped businesses removing RKC gambling machines. Kotur suspected that Đokić had earlier been involved in the shootings at the villa of Kotur.[6]
Death
He was killed in Stockholm, on May 5, 2003 at 11 a.m. Two attackers wounded him[clarification needed] fatally and he succumbed to the injuries in a hospital.[7] The murder remains unsolved.
