Honey Trap Playboy Model Goes On The Run As Interpol Warrant Issued

A former Playboy model has gone on the run after being convicted of laying a honey trap as part of a murder plot against a mobster.

Former Miss Bosnia, Slobodanka Tosic, was found guilty in March of arranging a date with Djordje Zdrale in 2006 and betraying him to arch-rival Darko Elez.

Zdrale was wounded in a subsequent assassination attempt but managed to escape.

An appeal court upheld a two-and-a-half year sentence against 30-year-old Ms Tosic in July, but she has not come forward to serve her time.

The model, who appeared on the cover of Serbian Playboy in 2008 after moving to the neighbouring country, had been staying at her parents' house near Sarajevo, with some restrictions on her movement.

A spokesman for the tribunal that issued her sentence told the AFP news agency: "Upon a demand of the State Court of Bosnia-Hercegovina an Interpol arrest warrant was issued for Slobodanka Tosic."

The spokesman did not say why the warrant had not been issued earlier.

However, it is thought police have been looking for Ms Tosic in Bosnia.

Prosecutors described Darko Elez's syndicate as "one of the largest groups of organised crime" in Bosnia, while Tosic was shown to have links to it.

After police smashed it in September 2012, Elez was among 32 people charged with a number of gangland murders and raids on cash deliveries.

Elez was convicted of involvement in organised crime and jailed for nine years in Serbia.
