Biography

He spent a considerable amount of time in Germany, he was the leader of the Voždovac gang. He garnered notoriety in the killing of mobster Ljubomir Magaš in Frankfurt, West Germany on 10 November 1986, in front of the local courthouse.
Magaš was unofficially proclaimed as the godfather of Serbian organized crime at the time. Vuković received a prison sentence of 5 years for the crime. He later returned to Belgrade.
After returning to Belgrade in 1991, he survived five assassination attempts. Such attempts included the bombing of his car as well as two policemen trying to kill him. Due to this, he concluded that the Serbian secret police had a hit-list, and that Romeo Savić was murdered by said police. The reason for Savić's assassination is because Savić was openly talking about police drug dealers. Vuković was mentioned in Ratko Mladić's personal diaries. Mladić wrote that Vuković and Duško Malović were involved in the 1994 murder of Serbian reporter Radislava Vujasinović.
In December 1994 he was shot in his car near the Yugoslav Drama Theater building by three masked assassins, who appeared out of darkness of nearby Manjež park and opened continuous fire from automatic weapons. Vuković and his bodyguard Duško Malović were found dead.
