Rade Rakonjac (1962 – 2 April 2014) was the bodyguard of Serbian war criminal Željko Ražnatović, close friend of the Zemun Clan mafia boss Luka Bojović, and a colonel in the Serbian Volunteer Guard. He was murdered in 2014.
Following the assassination of Serbia's Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić on 12 March 2003, Rakonjac was among those arrested during Operation Sablja.[1][2] Although he had strong connections to the Serbian mafia, Rakonjac was never officially convicted of any major crime. His only charge during his lifetime was for the illegal possession of a firearm.
Rakonjac served as groomsman to Ražnatović during his 1995 wedding to Ceca.[3]
