Golubović (Serbian
Cyrillic: Александар-Кристијан Голубовић) (born 30 November
1969 in Munich
, Germany
) is a
Serbian
mafioso. After spending 4.5
years in prison in Požarevac
, Serbia, he was
released on January 9, 2009.
Biography
Born to Srboljub - Kića and Milanka - Mima Golubović in a family of
Gastarbeiters living in
Munich, Kristijan did not meet his father until grade school since
he was serving a long term prison sentence for taking part in a
robbery with deadly outcome.
Kristijan's parents moved back to Serbia in 1987, bringing him
along as well. Already no stranger to various juvenile delinquent
activity, Golubović continued along the same path with
street fighting, often involving knives and
guns.
In
December 1987, Kristijan beat up a patron in a kafana in Boleč
.
In May
1989, as he started a fist fight against Slavko Mijović - Mija
Pijuk, a much older mobster, godfather of Željko Ražnatović
Arkan, his bodyguard Safet Buljuku Džimi fired shots (and
wounded him in the leg) at Slavko Mijović - Mija Pijuk in front of
Disco Luv in the Belgrade
suburb of
Voždovac
.
Later that year, in October 1989, he initiated a brawl in Branko
Krsmanović club leading to several shots being fired as well. He
soon graduated to organized crime and gang related activity.
In the early morning hours of Sunday, February 25, 1990, he was one
of the perpetrators of an infamous act of violence in Belgrade's
Mažestik Hotel. Along with his best friend at the time Dragan
"Gagi" Nikolić, heavily armed Kristijan burst into the hotel's
disco bar looking for a rival gangster. Since they didn't find him,
24-year-old Gagi and 21-year-old Kristijan shot up and ransacked
the place, pretty much destroying it in the process before fleeing
the scene. Since the hotel's disco bar was a favourite mobster
hangout, the incident gained them quite a bit of notoriety in the
underworld considering that many prominent and powerful mob figures
were there at the time of the shooting.
To escape
persecution in Serbia, Kristijan went back to Germany, but soon
found himself serving a 3-year sentence in Düsseldorf
. In 1993, German authorities extradited him
back to Serbia where he was wanted for a variety of criminal acts
from the 1988-1990 period.
Kristijan Golubović was featured in a 1996 documentary about
Serbia's underworld called
Vidimo se u čitulji. He is one
of only a few individuals, out of dozens featured in the film,
still alive today.
In 2002 he
escaped from Malandrino, a Greek
prison where
he was serving a 14 and a half years sentence for stealing two
Mercedes-Benz cars, and an armed
robbery. During his time in prison, he maintained a
relationship with
Željko Ražnatović's
daughter
Anđela
Ražnatović.
He was arrested in
Operation
Sablja, the crackdown on organized crime in Serbia following
the
Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić's
assassination.

On the night of March 17, 2004, Kristijan and famous Serbian
turbo-folk singer
Ceca Ražnatović (widow of murdered
Željko Ražnatović
Arkan) gathered protesters in front of the government building
in Belgrade to rail against the situation in Kosovo where more than
300
Serbian Orthodox
churches had been burned that day in an outbreak of organized
ethnic
Albanian violence against the
Serb civilians in the province.
He is
multilingual, quotes
Nietzsche, and maintains a keen interest in
arts. In 1993 he appeared on the album
Zbogom, Srbijo by
Serbian band
Riblja
Čorba, singing with band's frontman
Bora Đorđević in the song
"Kamenko i Kremenko".
On September 29, 2006 he married Suzana Milojković, whom he has
dated since December 2005, in the prison where he will serve a
total of 6 years for
racketeering. In
January 2008, while still being imprisoned, he launched his own
website,
www.kristijangolubovic.net, which includes his
biography, photos, and even videos from the prison, taken by
camera phone.
