Mille Markovic

Milentije Marković (Serbian Cyrillic: Милентије "Миле" Марковић; 11 June 1961 – 23 January 2014), known as Mille Marković, was a Yugoslavian-born Swedish professional boxer, an owner of a sex club, and a convicted criminal and gangster. He died from gunshot wounds to the head on 23 January 2014 in Ulvsunda, a suburb of Stockholm. Marković was an amateur and professional boxer. In 1977, at age 16, he won the Swedish boxing championship title in the bantamweight division. He later turned professional, fighting in the welterweight division. He retired from professional boxing in 1989.

After his sporting career ended, in the mid-1990s Marković ran a Stockholm sex club called "Club Privé", before ownership was transferred to former policeman Ljubomir Pilipović, and eventually to ex-ice hockey player Michael Badelt. Marković was convicted of criminal charges on several occasions.

Marković had fitted a room in his club with hidden cameras and planned to lure celebrities there, film the victims having sex and consuming drugs, and use the footage for blackmail.

In 2008, Marković was convicted of serious tax and accounting fraud, weapons and drugs offences, and receiving stolen goods. In late 2009, he was sentenced on two counts of assault and drug offences. after a long legal dispute with Michael Badelt.

Marković was named as one of the alleged sources for Thomas Sjöberg, Deanne Rauscher and Tove Meyer's controversial biography of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf – Den motvillige monarken, which was published in November 2010.

In May 2011, Marković claimed to be in possession of compromising photographs of the king visiting sex clubs in the 1980s. The photograph he reproduced was later proven to be a hoax that had been manipulated electronically from earlier images. In 2012, Beata Hansson and Deanne Rauscher published a biography titled Mille Markovic: the biography. All three suspects were later released.
