Mossos d’Esquadra Tie Eixample Gun Attacks to Balkan Narcotics Feud

Investigators have expanded their probe to four of five Eixample shootings after linking the August attacks to ongoing narcotics reprisals.

Overview

  • The Mossos identified ties between the July 15 daylight killing of Kavac hitman Filip Knežević on Consell de Cent and the August 2 shooting that wounded Skaljari operative Predrag Vujosevic on Carrer d’Urgell.
  • Predrag Vujosevic survived the late-night attack and is recovering after surgery, with officers confirming he is not in life-threatening condition.
  • Four of five firearm incidents recorded in Barcelona’s Eixample over the past three weeks are now under investigation as drug-related settling-of-accounts.
  • Both the Serbian Kavac clan and the Montenegrin Skaljari clan have diversified from cocaine into large-scale marijuana cultivation across Spain and Europe.
  • Catalan police have intensified operations against Balkan crime cells to disrupt further violence while denying evidence of a broader escalation in public shootings.
