Slobodanka Tosic has joined the growing list of former Playboy models in trouble with the law. Also a former Miss Bosnia runner-up, the 29-year-old beauty was arrested in Crotia and repatriated to her country to face five murder and robbery charges.
Central European News reports that the brunette's partner, Darko Elez who is allegedly a gangster now in jail for murder and robbery offences, linked Tosic to the crimes. She is also accused of luring Djorje Zdrale, another former lover, to a location where she had him ambushed and shot. But Zdrale survived and is himself in prison for another crime, the murder of a police chief, reports The Telegraph.
The stolen goods were valued at more than $6 million, done through spectacular heists on lenders, postal offices and bank security vehicles. Tosic was nabbed following an undercover sting called "Operation Doll" which led to the arrest of 32 people, according to Yahoo.
In 2014, Tosic fled Bosnia and Herzegovina. Besides her Playboy stint, she also joined the Serbian edition of the reality show "Survivor." She was runner-up in the Miss Bosnia and Herzegovina 2005 and bagged the Miss Photogenic award.
Her Playboy photos featured Tosic in denim shorts and black bra with a green motorcycle as background. The featured was titled Wild Ride, which aptly describes the life of the brunette.
In 2013, another Playboy model and actress, Brandi Brandt, was similarly extradited from Los Angeles to her home country Australia to face cocaine conspiracy charges. The October 1987 Playmate of the Month and August 1989 cover girl was accused of conspiring with a syndicate to import a large quantity of cocaine using the gang's links with an airline catering company. The catering firm's employees collected the cocaine in Sydney.
