Unmasked is a SERBIAN gangster with ties to neo Nazi groups and football hooligans who has been behind one of the largest drug networks in the Balearic Islands.
Stefan Milojevic, 35, the muscular boss of the United Tribuns biker gang, was arrested last week in a spectacular multi-agency operation involving the Guardia Civil, the Policía Nacional, Europol and German police.
Investigators believe that Milojevic converted his Mallorca-based motorcycle club into an international cartel which trafficked drugs like cocaine, hash and methamphetamine across Spain and northern Europe.
In just two short years, his group had taken over the majority of the island’s narcotics trade. It supplied more than 50% of all drug dealers in the island.

Laundering proceeds was done through a web of front companies, which included nightclubs, prostitutes and other legitimate-looking businesses.
Police seized more than three tonnes of narcotics, €1.54 million in cash, sixteen firearms, and a trove of espionage equipment – including GPS trackers, hidden cameras, and bug detectors – during coordinated raids on 71 properties across Mallorca, Ibiza, and the mainland.
Among the 76 suspects detained were alleged corrupt lawyer Gonzalo Márquez, a biker chief and several members of the Son Banya drugs clan, including the notorious El Vito.
Milojevic’s arrest marks the culmination of a two-year investigation dubbed Operation Enroque Manso Bal, described by police as ‘a before and after’ moment in the fight against organised crime in the Balearics.

The Spanish authorities claimed that the gang imported cocaine from North Africa and Ibiza while stockpiling drugs at warehouses in Palma, Spain for distribution throughout Europe.
New reports from Serbia reveal the ideological underbelly of Milojevic’s network – a violent fusion of Balkan nationalism, neo-Nazi symbolism and football extremism.
According to Serbian press, Milojevic was born in 1990 and is the son of a former Mallorca footballer.
His Balkan heritage gave him access both to Balkan criminal network and United Tribuns founding members in Spain.

The Mallorca chapter was notoriously brutal and far-right under his leadership. They were seen in Son Moix stadium with RCD Mallorca’s most radical extremists as well as Germans living on Mallorca.
Police claim that the gang had close ties to extremist groups, and they used their members for drug distribution.
During searches, officers found Nazi memorabilia, Odin symbols and T-shirts emblazoned with ‘Blood and Honour’, a slogan associated with white supremacist movements.
The gang also used forged police badges from the Policía Nacional, Guardia Civil and Palma local police to stop rival traffickers and steal their shipments.
One of the bases they used was a fake company that hid a clandestine lab for drugs.
Europol has confirmed the United Tribuns as a growing security threat. Cells operate in Barcelona and Madrid, Tenerife, Valencia, Tenerife & Girona.
The official stated that “the United Tribuns” are part of the new generation of biker groups who combine transnational trafficking with ideological extremism. “They are violent, disciplined, and increasingly well-connected.”
Milojevic who boasted his mixed martial arts and tattoos on social media is now in Palma waiting for trial on charges of money laundering, drug trafficking, and belonging to an illegal organisation.
The judge overseeing the case has lifted secrecy orders on the investigation, which police say exposes a ‘multinational of crime’ that believed itself untouchable.
If convicted, Milojevic faces decades behind bars. His downfall is a rare win in Spain’s ongoing struggle against the influence of international drug gangs.
