secured Krstic’s arrest
in Serbia back in 2020. Prior to his extradition, Serbian authorities then
released Krstic
in August 2021.

Predictably, within a few weeks Krstic and wife Xenia Atilano
fled the country.

Krstic and Atilano are believed to be

These reports remain unconfirmed. As of October 2023, Atilano’s individual criminal case docket does not acknowledge her reported death.
