Italian Ex Cops Suspected in the Killing of Two Macedonians


Former Italian policemen Luka Cerubini (37) and Daniele Saravini (33) are suspects for the killing of Macedonian businessmen Hristo Uzunov and Ekrem Salija.

According to Italian police, the reason for the killing is 400,000 euros that Saravini owed to the Macedonian businessmen after they loaned him the money to finance the building of a shopping center in Skopje.

Saravini had called the two Macedonians in Italy so he could return the money, however his plan had been not to return the money, but to kill the two. 

Italian police has stated that Saravini had ordered the killing, while Cerubini and few others were the executioners. Police is actively searching for Cerubini.

Both Macedonians were shot in the back and dumped at a nearby forest in Brescia. The bodies were discovered two and a half months later by a local villager who was picking fruits in the forest.

Thanks to suitcases and cell phone with a Macedonian sim card left at the hotel, Italian police was quickly able to figure who the inviduals were, as well as the ties to Saravini and Cerubini based on financial documents and information gathered from the suitcases.
