===Trials===
Dobrosav Gavrić pleaded not guilty but was convicted and sentenced to 19 years in prison. His accomplices received from 3 to 15 years each, after a year-long trial in 2002. However, the district court verdict was overturned by the Supreme Court because of "lack of evidence and vagueness of the first trial process". A new trial was conducted in 2006, ending on 9 October 2006 with guilty verdicts upheld for Gavrić as well as his accomplices, Milan Đuričić and Dragan Nikolić. Gavrić was sentenced to 30 years in prison, as well as Đuričić and Nikolić, for murder in complicity.<ref>[http://mondo.rs/a47127/Info/Srbija/Sedam-godina-od-ubistva-Arkana.html Sedam godina od ubistva Arkana]; mondo.rs, 15 January 2007.</ref>

Prior to carrying out his sentence, however, Gavrić obtained a passport from Bosnia and Herzegovina under the name Saša Kovačević and fled Serbia. In March 2011, he was driving a crime boss, Cyril Beeka, in Cape Town, South Africa when a gunman on a motorbike opened fire on them, killing Beeka and wounding Gavrić. Cocaine was found in the vehicle they were in, leading to Gavrić being fingerprinted and his true identity discovered. Since that time, he has been incarcerated in South Africa and fighting his extradition to Serbia where his 2006 sentence awaits him. {{As of|February 2021}}, he is still fighting his extradition to Serbia in South African courts.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dolley |first=Caryn |date=2021-02-10 |title=UNDERWORLD SAGA: A jailed Serbian assassin's 10-year battle against extradition from SA – and his failed bids for freedom |url=https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2021-02-10-a-jailed-serbian-assassins-10-year-battle-against-extradition-from-sa-and-his-failed-bids-for-freedom/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221219164414/https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2021-02-10-a-jailed-serbian-assassins-10-year-battle-against-extradition-from-sa-and-his-failed-bids-for-freedom/ |archive-date=2022-12-19 |access-date=2022-12-19 |website=Daily Maverick |language=en}}</ref>
