Quick Glance: Drug Trafficker Exploits Shell Companies in Dubai
- Edin 'Tito' Gacanin, a Bosnian national holding a Dutch passport, was sanctioned by US authorities in 2023 for his role in an international drug cartel responsible for large-scale cocaine and amphetamine trafficking into Europe. He resides in Dubai, where he established a company named Edin Group DMCC, allegedly to employ key members of his criminal network.
- Investigations reveal Gacanin's close ties with several high-profile drug traffickers and past collaborations with various criminal organizations, including Ireland's Kinahan gang and the Dutch Mocro Maffia. Despite his drug trafficking convictions, he successfully registered companies in both the United Arab Emirates and the British Virgin Islands without facing objections from authorities.
- Leaked documents indicate Gacanin is involved not only in drug trafficking but also in money laundering and bribery. These documents reveal his coordination of the smuggling of large quantities of cocaine from South America to Europe via the messaging platform Sky ECC, and his cartel's political connections in Bosnia aimed at gaining influence and undermining state authority.
- A coordinated EU operation known as Operation Desert Light led to Gacanin's arrest in Dubai; however, he was not extradited and continues to live freely. The complexity and opacity of legal frameworks in Dubai enable drug traffickers to obscure their activities and maintain international connections, significantly complicating the fight against drug trafficking.
