Investigation into Split Shooting Leads to Arrest of Alleged Drug Lord and Associates

Recently, the investigation into the attempted murder of Joseph and Caronubelia Čube (37) in Skalice, Split was taken over by authorities. The shooting took place on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, around 3:50 p.m. in the neighborhood of Filip Zavadlav. The suspects in the case include Nenad Petrak (44), an alleged drug lord currently in a Split prison, as well as his associates Jerko Radić (45), Ante Varnica (43), and Jerkov nećak Alen Radić (22).

In addition to Čuba’s arrest for a traffic violation that led to his detention, recent reports have linked him to a criminal organization involved in drug smuggling and trafficking. This has positioned him as a potential leader in the illicit trade. As investigations continue, more details are expected to emerge regarding the inner workings of this criminal underworld in Split.

The arrest of Čuba and his associates marks a significant development in the case, suggesting a possible unraveling of drug-related activities in the region. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by organized crime and the efforts needed to combat such threats effectively in our community. It remains to be seen what will become of this complex network of criminal activities and whether those implicated will face justice for their actions.
