Slovenia Crime Trials

1

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,640

of-beat conversations about the real people involved in investigation.


7

00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,880

Detective Diaries is on a visit to Lubljana, the capital of Slovenia,


8

00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:47,040

but before we launch you into a true crime world where we uncover a maze of dark secrets,


9

00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:52,720

shocking fraud and ruthless criminal syndicate, peeling back the postcard perfect layers of


10

00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:59,520

central Europe to investigate the chilling web of organised gang crime and the twisted mind


11

00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:06,400

of Sebastian Abramov. Please take a moment to subscribe and follow Detective Diaries

00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:20,400

It helps other detectives find our case. Now let's step into the dark side of Slovenia.


14

00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:33,360

[Music]


15

00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,520

Spending a few days in Slovenia, I've researched detective's private detectives and crime in the country.


16

00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,040

Slovenia has a very low crime rate, ranking them among safest countries globally,


17

00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,000

there has been a recent increase in some crime types such as juvenile domestic violence


18

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,520

and organised crime. I've climbed up to the top of Lubljana Castle and I wanted to be able to see


19

00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:02,320

the civil court but the case I wanted to talk about was tried. However it's a day when this very thick


20

00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,960

fog and quite frankly I can barely even see the ground, let alone mountain peaks around.


21

00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:15,200

Can however just hear the church bells in the distance in the town of Lubilyana.


22

00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:23,120

Because Slovenia has a very low crime rate, dramatic crimes do stand out. We've previously explored


23

00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:30,000

the story of the notorious serial killer Metatrepic. The story of Sebastian Abramov is also a case that


24

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,360

made headline news and was followed by everyone in the country. Sebastian Abramov was born as Sebastian


25

00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:46,720

Kalavik. In early 2019, Abramov and his girlfriend


26

00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:54,400

Haria Hadlysik committed a specific fraud. Abramov made life an accident insurance policy


27

00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:02,320

through his girlfriend with five insurance companies at the end of 2018. In January 2019 when


28

00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:09,200

insurance was valid and the first instalments paid, his girlfriend had released a cut off her left


29

00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:18,800

hand just above the wrist with a circular saw at the Abramovs home. Only days later the four suspects,


30

00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,880

including his girlfriend's parents filed damages claims with the five insurance companies.


31

00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:31,280

But they did not receive any money as police had already started investigating the case.


32

00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:38,560

Haria Hadlysik and her partner Sebastian Abramov attracted a lot of media attention during the trial,


33

00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:46,400

including by allegedly getting engaged. Abramov was also being tried as the suspected murderer of


34

00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,520

Sarah Viva, who was his girlfriend at the time of her death in 2015 in what Abramov claimed was a


35

00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:59,520

shooting accident. He was in custody throughout the trial while Hadlysik was sent into house arrest in


36

00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:06,560

May 2019 as the court found that the chance of a repeat had fenced. The Lugliana district court


37

00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:14,000

found Haria guilty of fraud and Sebastian Abramov guilty of aiding and abetting. In sentencing the court


38

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,800

fully followed the prosecution's proposal as the defendant had already pleaded guilty at the


39

00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:27,280

pre-trial hearing. The prosecution accused Hadlysik of defrauding NLB of 31,000 euros and other companies


40

00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:33,200

of 7,000 euros and co-defendants Abramov of aiding and abetting the criminal act.


41

00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:39,840

Hadlysik was accused of other frauds of opening bank accounts and making fraudulent loans.


42

00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:46,080

After cutting off her hand, after severing her hand at the wrist with the saw if the police had


43

00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:52,640

not interfered as Hadlysik would have received 1.2 million euros in damages and several hundred


44

00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:59,520

thousand euros in monthly rent. Her father, Gerasherd Kalarik, who was accused of taking part in the


45

00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,520

scheme along with his wife, was also found guilty and got a one-year suspended sentence on two-year


46

00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,680

probation. Abramov's mother was found not guilty. And while this insurance fraud case was ongoing,


47

00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:18,480

Abramov was also facing the other separate, more serious charge, the murder of his former girlfriend,


48

00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:24,640

Sarah Weber. Weber died from a gunshot wound in the living room. Abramov claimed it was an accidental


49

00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:31,840

shooting but prosecutors alleged he murdered her in a devious manner and made it look like an accident.


50

00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:38,320

Evidence presented that trial-indicated Weber was shot from a distance of 80 to 210 centimeters,


51

00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:44,640

making an accidental close range discharge during cleaning highly unlikely and that she may have


52

00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:51,440

been in a defensive position. The shot tore away her jaw, destroyed part of her nose and cost her


53

00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:59,280

an eye. At a funeral, a co-worker of Weber described the funeral as unusual and recalled Abramov screaming


54

00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:03,840

and appearing as though he might jump into the grave. This new girl, Finn Hadlysik, testified


55

00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:09,280

during the trial stating that Abramov was a loving and gentle partner and that he told the shooting


56

00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:16,160

was an accident and account she believed despite others doubts. Abramov was found guilty of murder.


57

00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:23,520

The initial sentence of 27 years was later reduced to 26 years upon appeal. Factoring in his other


58

00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:30,720

conventional convictions for fraud, his final combined sentence was determined to be 29 years in prison.


59

00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:36,400

The Slovenian Supreme Court rejected his final appeal solidifying his sentence.


60

00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:42,800

Abramov was found guilty of the frauding Sarah Weber's mother, Nader Weber of more than 15,000 euros.


61

00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:49,120

And what has happened since? Haryne Hadlysik served a prison sentence for the insurance fraud case


62

00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,600

and has since been released. Since her release, she has become quite a star on TikTok, posting videos


63

00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:02,560

in early 2025 she shared videos from a luxurious trip to Dubai. More recently, she's taken up painting


64

00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:08,800

and shared artwork online. She is still carefully concealed to reattached hand in the public social


65

00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:15,280

media appearances which remains a key focus of public interest. New supports indicate that she


66

00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,640

was still visiting Abramov in prison during his separate murder trial proceedings but more recent


67

00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:28,560

articles refer to her as his former partner. And she now seems to be living in an independent life


68

00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,600

focused on social media and painting.


69

00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:45,120

I've walked down from lofty heights of  Ljubljana Castle to Orish Nova Street,


70

00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,560

a residential area that's very active, cars parked and either side of the road,


71

00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:57,360

and it's flanked by apartment blocks just three or four stories high. Typical Ljubljana street lighting,


72

00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,800

hung on a wire suspended between the two buildings. There's a couple of RVs parked around.


73

00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:10,720

It was here that the peaceful activity of Ljubljana was disturbed by dramatic and very tragic incident


74

00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,560

a couple of years ago. But more of that later in our story.


75

00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:25,040

Fast forward to the present day, Ljubljana is now a modern European capital, a hub of international


76

00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:32,160

business and unfortunately international crime. In recent years the city has seen a rise in organized


77

00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:38,960

crime activity linked to powerful Balkan cartels especially the notorious Gajari and Kavatch


78

00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:45,680

clans from Montenegro. The syring streets of Ljubljana became the backdrop of scenes that fell straight


79

00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:54,560

out of a mafia movie. In December 2024 the city was shaken by a mafia style execution, a Bosnian


80

00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:01,280

national identified as Sacko Zofko, a witness in ongoing court proceedings against one of the cartels


81

00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:07,920

was shot in his car on the western edge of the city. Police special forces responded quickly


82

00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:13,840

arresting three men in Ljubljana in just six days. One was found to have an international


83

00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:21,040

rest woman's out for his capture. The incidents highlights a concerning trend. A massive trial is


84

00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,320

currently underway in  Ljubljana with more than a dozen members of a local Kavatch crancel


85

00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:32,800

facing charges for allegedly trafficking enormous quantities of cocaine, cannabis and heroin


86

00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:40,080

across Europe. The stakes are incredibly high. The trial itself has been the target of criminal plots.


87

00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:45,520

Two men were recently arrested for allegedly plotting to murder a police informant would become


88

00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:52,240

a protective witness. These cases show a different side to the picturesque city. One where high-level


89

00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:59,440

police investigation is constantly tested by powerful, ruthless, international organizations.


90

00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:13,840

The alleged member of the criminal organization to allegedly murdered Sacko Zofko in Ljubljana 


91

00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:19,200

has denied any wrongdoing. Dinomusvertic have verified to put together a very


92

00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:25,920

precisely elaborate and insidious plan for the murder of Sacko Zofko and carried it out within


93

00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:32,160

the framework of the criminal organization of which he was the leader. The manner of execution


94

00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:39,280

was very theatrical and that is loud and resonant. So said the prosecutors at his trial in the


95

00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:45,920

indictment against Mustafa Ravitch and co-defendant Yako Bergen, Roland Kretu, Osmo Kostrovich,


96

00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:52,080

Bili Sushnik and Bobon Stoshabernick. Mustafa Ravitch was believed by the prosecution to have left


97

00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:58,320

his personal mark precisely with the theatrical manner of the kidding. Even before that,


98

00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:04,160

Zofko was allegedly planning to kill him with a bomb, at least as two of his former colleagues


99

00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:10,160

from Bosnian and Herzegovina revealed during the investigation. The first one explained how the


100

00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:16,800

scooter with the explosives was supposed to be parked near Zofko's vehicle when it was in Bili Khodusa.


101

00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:23,760

The second option was to place the explosives in a bag of chips near Zofko's home. Mustafa Ravitch


102

00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:31,280

allegedly revealed a third plan, namely to kill Zofko with a rocket launcher. His former colleagues


103

00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,800

had already sought police help out of fear for their own safety. One said of Mustafa Ravitch that he


104

00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:44,560

was an uncompromisingly vengeful man, feared by 90% of the people who worked in his organization,


105

00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:50,960

most of them working to pay off debts that they allegedly owed him. Mustafa Ravitch had allegedly


106

00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:57,280

been looking for Zofko for at least a year before his liquidation. He had hung posters around New


107

00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:04,560

Biharna saying, "I am Sackle Zofko. I am the biggest traitor in Europe. I betrayed my best friends


108

00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:11,600

and family for money and drugs." One of the gangsters testifying who had worked for Mustafa Ravitch since


109

00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:18,720

June 2024 said in the investigation that after he was released from prison, Zofko started working


110

00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:24,800

with Mustafa Ravitch in drug dealing. He even had free entry to his home, four vehicles, and a


111

00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:32,400

monthly limit of 15,000 euros. Zofko allegedly stole drugs and money worth a total of 300,000


112

00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:39,680

euros from Mustafa Ravitch and claimed that he did not steal the drugs while Mustafa Ravitch


113

00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:46,160

applied that the scourge asked had entrusted the drugs to him and that he would be responsible for that.


114

00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:52,160

Since then, there was said to have been in a dispute where Pons Zofko sought police protection


115

00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,840

and among other things, we build several of Mustafa Ravitch's drug hiding places. That is when


116

00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:03,680

he came to Slovenia. In the days before the murder, according to the testimonies of witnesses in


117

00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:09,600

the investigation, Zofko told several people that he had settled the dispute with Mustafa Ravitch,


118

00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:15,120

so he stopped hiding. Just three days before the murder, he also communicated with one of the


119

00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:21,040

Slovenian criminal investigators and then confided in him that Zofko was hiding in one of the


120

00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:27,120

Lubejana apartments and that he was keeping a large quantity of weapons there, namely automatic


121

00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:36,160

rifles and pistols. He described Mr. Ravitch as a member of the Scaljar clan who, in 2020, collaborated


122

00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:44,160

with Clemen Kaderbitch in the attempted murder of Egor Manchick in Lubejana. That attempt did not


123

00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:51,840

succeed, but it links full circle back to where I now stand in Ourshnovar Street. Three years later,


124

00:13:51,840 --> 00:14:00,000

Egor Manchick, now 34, was murdered in a targeted, mafia style shooting, where I stand here in Ourshnovar


125

00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,400

Street. It was not the victim of a separate attempted murder, rather the fatal shooting was the


126

00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:13,840

successful assassination, often described as an execution-style killing. Manchick was ambushed and


127

00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:20,800

shot in broad daylight in front of his child with whom he'd been sitting in a vehicle. According


128

00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:26,720

to Slovenia, a media Manchick's murder was widely believed to be a continuation of the bloody


129

00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:32,640

international conflict between Montenegro and organized crime syndicates. Prior to his death,


130

00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:39,600

Manchick had a documented history of legal and criminal troubles. In 2013, he was involved in a


131

00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:45,040

firearm-related altercation in Serbia, and it was subsequently linked to the kidnapping


132

00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:53,360

of murder of Thaniel Botšik in Slovenia in 2019. Sofko, who, according to witnesses regularly


133

00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:59,200

used drugs, owed money to many people and liked to go to casinos. He warned the police that if


134

00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:05,680

Mustafa Ravitch was not arrested soon, he would definitely carry out one or two murders in Slovenia.


135

00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:12,400

He allegedly had a team of younger boys ready and recruited to do just this. Obviously,


136

00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:20,000

Sacko Sofko did not know at the time that it was he whos murder was being planned. Also,


137

00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:26,880

the murder was carried out in a truly insidious manner. Sofko lived in the belief that the dispute


138

00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:34,320

with Mustafa Ravitch had been resolved and he could therefore be completely safe here in Slovenia.


139

00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:42,240

But on the night of Friday, November 29th, 2025, three drivers who happened to be driving past


140

00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:47,520

the Sheraton-Lubjana noticed a red Audi that had crashed into a fence.


141

00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:55,360

It wasn't a traffic accident. They immediately noticed that someone had shot at the vehicle


142

00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,840

and also saw the murdered Sofko with a gunshot wound to the forehead.


143

00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:05,680

Mustafa Ravitch had prepared a detailed plan for Slovenia's liquidation. As Sofko left the entrance


144

00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:14,640

to the hotel casino, 31 bullets were fired at him, 26 from an AK-47 and at least five from a


145

00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:22,880

Glock short-boweled firearm. Prosecuting at Mustafa Ravitch trial had no doubt that they were part of


146

00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:30,480

his criminal organisation. It had involved his co-defendant's task in them with following Zofec


147

00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:36,160

and gave one of them his personal vehicle. The police would probably have had a harder time


148

00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:43,040

catching the six accused if they'd not discover the tracking device in a hidden part of Sofko's car


149

00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:48,800

which was accessible from the outside. Video surveillance camera footage from various buildings


150

00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:54,960

around Lubjana revealed three important locations of the group, two on Topnishka Street,


151

00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:02,080

an apartment and a garage and a third apartment at Berthaar Way. It was here that the killers


152

00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:10,400

hid after the murder. When the three locations were raided, the police not only found arms


153

00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:16,960

and weapons but also large quantities of drugs, two kilograms of malphins,


154

00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:25,440

kilograms of another substance and also very importantly biological traces of all of the accused.


155

00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:38,320

That brings us to the end of this, the second part of my dive into the dark reality


156

00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:46,320

shaken central unit living by my visit to Lubjana. For years Slovenia was wildly considered a


157

00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:53,360

tranquil postcard perfect century but as we've seen today that quiet exterior has been shattered


158

00:17:53,360 --> 00:18:00,080

by two wildly different yet equally terrifying faces of crime. On the one side you have the


159

00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:06,320

intimate psychological horror of Sebastian Abramov. His story sounds less like real life


160

00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:12,480

and more like a psychological thriller, a master manipulator who orchestrated the infamous


161

00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:19,040

cut-off hand insurance scam with his girlfriend. But Abramov's web of deceit was stained with far


162

00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:25,600

worse than fraud. Following a relentless multi-year pursuit of justice, the courts finally brought down


163

00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:32,480

the ultimate hammer, the Slovenian high court officially upheld a 26 year prison sentence


164

00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,120

for the cold-blooded calculated murder of his former girlfriend, Sarah Viva.


165

00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:44,800

By combining his multiple fraud convictions, he faces a total of 29 to 30 years behind bars,


166

00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:51,520

effectively ensuring that this parasitic predator will remain off the streets for decades. Yet,


167

00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:59,440

as Abramov steps into a cell, Slovenia faces a much larger systemic threat bleeding across


168

00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:06,160

its borders. The company has rapidly transformed from a peaceful crossroads into a strategic


169

00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:14,160

battle ground for highly violent international cartels. And it is not homegrown. The brutal multi-year


170

00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:20,640

war between Montenegro's notorious clans has officially arrived on Slovenian soil.


171

00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:27,920

It's no longer a distant problem. Local cells are actively operating right here.


172

00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:35,040

The shocking gang-land executions, the brazen assassination of Manchekin Lubjana prove that these


173

00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:40,800

syndicates, view slovenia's infrastructure, as prime real estate for European drug trafficking.


174

00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:47,520

Security experts warn that the public can no longer turn a blind eye to these mafia organizations.


175

00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:54,720

The massive trials, the recent cross-border arrests of cartel leaders underscore a chilling reality.


176

00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:00,080

The quiet streets of Lubjana are, though deeply entangled in a global,


177

00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:06,960

billion-dollar cocaine pipeline. Two distinct shadows over one nation, one born of


178

00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:14,240

absolute individual sociopathy, the other driven by corporate militarized cartel violence.


179

00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:21,520

Both have forever altered Slovenia's criminal landscape. However, a personal plea


180

00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:28,800

do not be put off from the stories of crime and violence in this podcast and this true crime genre.


181

00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:36,800

but before we launch you into a true crime world where we uncover a maze of dark secrets,


9

00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:52,720

shocking fraud and ruthless criminal syndicate, peeling back the postcard perfect layers of


10

14

00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:33,360

[Music]


15

00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,520

Spending a few days in Slovenia, I've researched detective's private detectives and crime in the country.


16

00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,040

Slovenia has a very low crime rate, ranking them among safest countries globally,


17

00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,000

there has been a recent increase in some crime types such as juvenile domestic violence


18

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,520

and organised crime. I've climbed up to the top of Lubljana Castle and I wanted to be able to see


19

00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:02,320

the civil court but the case I wanted to talk about was tried. However it's a day when this very thick


20

00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,960

fog and quite frankly I can barely even see the ground, let alone mountain peaks around.


21

00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:15,200

Can however just hear the church bells in the distance in the town of Lubilyana.


22

00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:23,120

Because Slovenia has a very low crime rate, dramatic crimes do stand out. We've previously explored


23

00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:30,000

the story of the notorious serial killer Metatrepic. The story of Sebastian Abramov is also a case that


24

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:37,360

made headline news and was followed by everyone in the country. Sebastian Abramov was born as Sebastian


25

00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:46,720

Kalavik. In early 2019, Abramov and his girlfriend


26

00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:54,400

Haria Hadlysik committed a specific fraud. Abramov made life an accident insurance policy


27

00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:02,320

through his girlfriend with five insurance companies at the end of 2018. In January 2019 when


28

00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:09,200

insurance was valid and the first instalments paid, his girlfriend had released a cut off her left


29

00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:18,800

hand just above the wrist with a circular saw at the Abramovs home. Only days later the four suspects,


30

00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,880

including his girlfriend's parents filed damages claims with the five insurance companies.


31

00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:31,280

But they did not receive any money as police had already started investigating the case.


32

00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:38,560

Haria Hadlysik and her partner Sebastian Abramov attracted a lot of media attention during the trial,


33

00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:46,400

including by allegedly getting engaged. Abramov was also being tried as the suspected murderer of


34

00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,520

Sarah Viva, who was his girlfriend at the time of her death in 2015 in what Abramov claimed was a


35

00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:59,520

shooting accident. He was in custody throughout the trial while Hadlysik was sent into house arrest in


36

00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:06,560

May 2019 as the court found that the chance of a repeat had fenced. The Lugliana district court


37

00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:14,000

found Haria guilty of fraud and Sebastian Abramov guilty of aiding and abetting. In sentencing the court


38

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,800

fully followed the prosecution's proposal as the defendant had already pleaded guilty at the


39

00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:27,280

pre-trial hearing. The prosecution accused Hadlysik of defrauding NLB of 31,000 euros and other companies


40

00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:33,200

of 7,000 euros and co-defendants Abramov of aiding and abetting the criminal act.


41

00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:39,840

Hadlysik was accused of other frauds of opening bank accounts and making fraudulent loans.


42

00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:46,080

After cutting off her hand, after severing her hand at the wrist with the saw if the police had


43

00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:52,640

not interfered as Hadlysik would have received 1.2 million euros in damages and several hundred


44

00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:59,520

thousand euros in monthly rent. Her father, Gerasherd Kalarik, who was accused of taking part in the


45

00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,520

scheme along with his wife, was also found guilty and got a one-year suspended sentence on two-year


46

00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,680

probation. Abramov's mother was found not guilty. And while this insurance fraud case was ongoing,


47

00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:18,480

Abramov was also facing the other separate, more serious charge, the murder of his former girlfriend,


48

00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:24,640

Sarah Weber. Weber died from a gunshot wound in the living room. Abramov claimed it was an accidental


49

00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:31,840

shooting but prosecutors alleged he murdered her in a devious manner and made it look like an accident.


50

00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:38,320

Evidence presented that trial-indicated Weber was shot from a distance of 80 to 210 centimeters,


51

00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:44,640

making an accidental close range discharge during cleaning highly unlikely and that she may have


52

00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:51,440

been in a defensive position. The shot tore away her jaw, destroyed part of her nose and cost her


53

00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:59,280

an eye. At a funeral, a co-worker of Weber described the funeral as unusual and recalled Abramov screaming


54

00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:03,840

and appearing as though he might jump into the grave. This new girl, Finn Hadlysik, testified


55

00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:09,280

during the trial stating that Abramov was a loving and gentle partner and that he told the shooting


56

00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:16,160

was an accident and account she believed despite others doubts. Abramov was found guilty of murder.


57

00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:23,520

The initial sentence of 27 years was later reduced to 26 years upon appeal. Factoring in his other


58

00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:30,720

conventional convictions for fraud, his final combined sentence was determined to be 29 years in prison.


59

00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:36,400

The Slovenian Supreme Court rejected his final appeal solidifying his sentence.


60

00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:42,800

Abramov was found guilty of the frauding Sarah Weber's mother, Nader Weber of more than 15,000 euros.


61

00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:49,120

And what has happened since? Haryne Hadlysik served a prison sentence for the insurance fraud case


62

00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,600

and has since been released. Since her release, she has become quite a star on TikTok, posting videos


63

00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:02,560

in early 2025 she shared videos from a luxurious trip to Dubai. More recently, she's taken up painting


64

00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:08,800

and shared artwork online. She is still carefully concealed to reattached hand in the public social


65

00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:15,280

media appearances which remains a key focus of public interest. New supports indicate that she


66

00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,640

was still visiting Abramov in prison during his separate murder trial proceedings but more recent


67

00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:28,560

articles refer to her as his former partner. And she now seems to be living in an independent life


68

00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,600

focused on social media and painting.


69

00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:45,120

I've walked down from lofty heights of  Ljubljana Castle to Orish Nova Street,


70

00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,560

a residential area that's very active, cars parked and either side of the road,


71

00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:57,360

and it's flanked by apartment blocks just three or four stories high. Typical Ljubljana street lighting,


72

00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,800

hung on a wire suspended between the two buildings. There's a couple of RVs parked around.


73

00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:10,720

It was here that the peaceful activity of Ljubljana was disturbed by dramatic and very tragic incident


74

00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,560

a couple of years ago. But more of that later in our story.


75

00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:25,040

Fast forward to the present day, Ljubljana is now a modern European capital, a hub of international


76

00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:32,160

business and unfortunately international crime. In recent years the city has seen a rise in organized


77

00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:38,960

crime activity linked to powerful Balkan cartels especially the notorious Gajari and Kavatch


78

00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:45,680

clans from Montenegro. The syring streets of Ljubljana became the backdrop of scenes that fell straight


79

00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:54,560

out of a mafia movie. In December 2024 the city was shaken by a mafia style execution, a Bosnian


80

00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:01,280

national identified as Sacko Zofko, a witness in ongoing court proceedings against one of the cartels


81

00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:07,920

was shot in his car on the western edge of the city. Police special forces responded quickly


82

00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:13,840

arresting three men in Ljubljana in just six days. One was found to have an international


83

00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:21,040

rest woman's out for his capture. The incidents highlights a concerning trend. A massive trial is


84

00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,320

currently underway in  Ljubljana with more than a dozen members of a local Kavatch crancel


85

00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:32,800

facing charges for allegedly trafficking enormous quantities of cocaine, cannabis and heroin


86

00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:40,080

across Europe. The stakes are incredibly high. The trial itself has been the target of criminal plots.


87

00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:45,520

Two men were recently arrested for allegedly plotting to murder a police informant would become


88

00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:52,240

a protective witness. These cases show a different side to the picturesque city. One where high-level


89

00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:59,440

police investigation is constantly tested by powerful, ruthless, international organizations.


90

00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:13,840

The alleged member of the criminal organization to allegedly murdered Sacko Zofko in Ljubljana 


91

00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:19,200

has denied any wrongdoing. Dinomusvertic have verified to put together a very


92

00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:25,920

precisely elaborate and insidious plan for the murder of Sacko Zofko and carried it out within


93

00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:32,160

the framework of the criminal organization of which he was the leader. The manner of execution


94

00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:39,280

was very theatrical and that is loud and resonant. So said the prosecutors at his trial in the


95

00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:45,920

indictment against Mustafa Ravitch and co-defendant Yako Bergen, Roland Kretu, Osmo Kostrovich,


96

00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:52,080

Bili Sushnik and Bobon Stoshabernick. Mustafa Ravitch was believed by the prosecution to have left


97

00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:58,320

his personal mark precisely with the theatrical manner of the kidding. Even before that,


98

00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:04,160

Zofko was allegedly planning to kill him with a bomb, at least as two of his former colleagues


99

00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:10,160

from Bosnian and Herzegovina revealed during the investigation. The first one explained how the


100

00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:16,800

scooter with the explosives was supposed to be parked near Zofko's vehicle when it was in Bili Khodusa.


101

00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:23,760

The second option was to place the explosives in a bag of chips near Zofko's home. Mustafa Ravitch


102

00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:31,280

allegedly revealed a third plan, namely to kill Zofko with a rocket launcher. His former colleagues


103

00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,800

had already sought police help out of fear for their own safety. One said of Mustafa Ravitch that he


104

00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:44,560

was an uncompromisingly vengeful man, feared by 90% of the people who worked in his organization,


105

00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:50,960

most of them working to pay off debts that they allegedly owed him. Mustafa Ravitch had allegedly


106

00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:57,280

been looking for Zofko for at least a year before his liquidation. He had hung posters around New


107

00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:04,560

Biharna saying, "I am Sackle Zofko. I am the biggest traitor in Europe. I betrayed my best friends


108

00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:11,600

and family for money and drugs." One of the gangsters testifying who had worked for Mustafa Ravitch since


109

00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:18,720

June 2024 said in the investigation that after he was released from prison, Zofko started working


110

00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:24,800

with Mustafa Ravitch in drug dealing. He even had free entry to his home, four vehicles, and a


111

00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:32,400

monthly limit of 15,000 euros. Zofko allegedly stole drugs and money worth a total of 300,000


112

00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:39,680

euros from Mustafa Ravitch and claimed that he did not steal the drugs while Mustafa Ravitch


113

00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:46,160

applied that the scourge asked had entrusted the drugs to him and that he would be responsible for that.


114

00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:52,160

Since then, there was said to have been in a dispute where Pons Zofko sought police protection


115

00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,840

and among other things, we build several of Mustafa Ravitch's drug hiding places. That is when


116

00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:03,680

he came to Slovenia. In the days before the murder, according to the testimonies of witnesses in


117

00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:09,600

the investigation, Zofko told several people that he had settled the dispute with Mustafa Ravitch,


118

00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:15,120

so he stopped hiding. Just three days before the murder, he also communicated with one of the


119

00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:21,040

Slovenian criminal investigators and then confided in him that Zofko was hiding in one of the


120

00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:27,120

Lubejana apartments and that he was keeping a large quantity of weapons there, namely automatic


121

00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:36,160

rifles and pistols. He described Mr. Ravitch as a member of the Scaljar clan who, in 2020, collaborated


122

00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:44,160

with Clemen Kaderbitch in the attempted murder of Egor Manchick in Lubejana. That attempt did not


123

00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:51,840

succeed, but it links full circle back to where I now stand in Ourshnovar Street. Three years later,


124

00:13:51,840 --> 00:14:00,000

Egor Manchick, now 34, was murdered in a targeted, mafia style shooting, where I stand here in Ourshnovar


125

00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,400

Street. It was not the victim of a separate attempted murder, rather the fatal shooting was the


126

00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:13,840

successful assassination, often described as an execution-style killing. Manchick was ambushed and


127

00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:20,800

shot in broad daylight in front of his child with whom he'd been sitting in a vehicle. According


128

00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:26,720

to Slovenia, a media Manchick's murder was widely believed to be a continuation of the bloody


129

00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:32,640

international conflict between Montenegro and organized crime syndicates. Prior to his death,


130

00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:39,600

Manchick had a documented history of legal and criminal troubles. In 2013, he was involved in a


131

00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:45,040

firearm-related altercation in Serbia, and it was subsequently linked to the kidnapping


132

00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:53,360

of murder of Thaniel Botšik in Slovenia in 2019. Sofko, who, according to witnesses regularly


133

00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:59,200

used drugs, owed money to many people and liked to go to casinos. He warned the police that if


134

00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:05,680

Mustafa Ravitch was not arrested soon, he would definitely carry out one or two murders in Slovenia.


135

00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:12,400

He allegedly had a team of younger boys ready and recruited to do just this. Obviously,


136

00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:20,000

Sacko Sofko did not know at the time that it was he whos murder was being planned. Also,


137

00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:26,880

the murder was carried out in a truly insidious manner. Sofko lived in the belief that the dispute


138

00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:34,320

with Mustafa Ravitch had been resolved and he could therefore be completely safe here in Slovenia.


139

00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:42,240

But on the night of Friday, November 29th, 2025, three drivers who happened to be driving past


140

00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:47,520

the Sheraton-Lubjana noticed a red Audi that had crashed into a fence.


141

00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:55,360

It wasn't a traffic accident. They immediately noticed that someone had shot at the vehicle


142

00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,840

and also saw the murdered Sofko with a gunshot wound to the forehead.


143

00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:05,680

Mustafa Ravitch had prepared a detailed plan for Slovenia's liquidation. As Sofko left the entrance


144

00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:14,640

to the hotel casino, 31 bullets were fired at him, 26 from an AK-47 and at least five from a


145

00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:22,880

Glock short-boweled firearm. Prosecuting at Mustafa Ravitch trial had no doubt that they were part of


146

00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:30,480

his criminal organisation. It had involved his co-defendant's task in them with following Zofec


147

00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:36,160

and gave one of them his personal vehicle. The police would probably have had a harder time


148

00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:43,040

catching the six accused if they'd not discover the tracking device in a hidden part of Sofko's car


149

00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:48,800

which was accessible from the outside. Video surveillance camera footage from various buildings


150

00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:54,960

around Lubjana revealed three important locations of the group, two on Topnishka Street,


151

00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:02,080

an apartment and a garage and a third apartment at Berthaar Way. It was here that the killers


152

00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:10,400

hid after the murder. When the three locations were raided, the police not only found arms


153

00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:16,960

and weapons but also large quantities of drugs, two kilograms of malphins,


154

00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:25,440

kilograms of another substance and also very importantly biological traces of all of the accused.


155

00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:38,320

That brings us to the end of this, the second part of my dive into the dark reality


156

00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:46,320

shaken central unit living by my visit to Lubjana. For years Slovenia was wildly considered a


157

00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:53,360

tranquil postcard perfect century but as we've seen today that quiet exterior has been shattered


158

00:17:53,360 --> 00:18:00,080

by two wildly different yet equally terrifying faces of crime. On the one side you have the


159

00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:06,320

intimate psychological horror of Sebastian Abramov. His story sounds less like real life


160

00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:12,480

and more like a psychological thriller, a master manipulator who orchestrated the infamous


161

00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:19,040

cut-off hand insurance scam with his girlfriend. But Abramov's web of deceit was stained with far


162

00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:25,600

worse than fraud. Following a relentless multi-year pursuit of justice, the courts finally brought down


163

00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:32,480

the ultimate hammer, the Slovenian high court officially upheld a 26 year prison sentence


164

00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,120

for the cold-blooded calculated murder of his former girlfriend, Sarah Viva.


165

00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:44,800

By combining his multiple fraud convictions, he faces a total of 29 to 30 years behind bars,


166

00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:51,520

effectively ensuring that this parasitic predator will remain off the streets for decades. Yet,


167

00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:59,440

as Abramov steps into a cell, Slovenia faces a much larger systemic threat bleeding across


168

00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:06,160

its borders. The company has rapidly transformed from a peaceful crossroads into a strategic


169

00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:14,160

battle ground for highly violent international cartels. And it is not homegrown. The brutal multi-year


170

00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:20,640

war between Montenegro's notorious clans has officially arrived on Slovenian soil.


171

00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:27,920

It's no longer a distant problem. Local cells are actively operating right here.


172

00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:35,040

The shocking gang-land executions, the brazen assassination of Manchekin Lubjana prove that these


173

00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:40,800

syndicates, view slovenia's infrastructure, as prime real estate for European drug trafficking.


174

00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:47,520

Security experts warn that the public can no longer turn a blind eye to these mafia organizations.


175

00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:54,720

The massive trials, the recent cross-border arrests of cartel leaders underscore a chilling reality.


176

00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:00,080

The quiet streets of Lubjana are, though deeply entangled in a global,


177

00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:06,960

billion-dollar cocaine pipeline. Two distinct shadows over one nation, one born of


178

00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:14,240

absolute individual sociopathy, the other driven by corporate militarized cartel violence.


179

00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:21,520

Both have forever altered Slovenia's criminal landscape. However, a personal plea


180

00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:28,800

do not be put off from the stories of crime and violence in this podcast and this true crime genre.


181

00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:36,800
