===Return to Yugoslavia===
Ražnatović returned to Belgrade in May 1983, continuing his criminal career by managing a number of illegal activities. In November of that year, six months after his return, a bank in Zagreb was robbed with the thieves leaving a rose on the counter (allegedly Ražnatović's signature from his robberies in Western Europe).<ref name="Arkanova ostavština" /> Looking to question Ražnatović about his whereabouts during the robbery, two policemen, members of the Secretariat of Internal Affairs' (SUP) Tenth department from the Belgrade municipality of [[Palilula, Belgrade|Palilula]], showed up in civilian clothing at his mother's apartment on 27 March Street in Belgrade.<ref name="Arkanova ostavština" /> Ražnatović happened to not be home at the moment, so the policemen introduced themselves to his mother as "friends of her son looking to return a cash debt they owed him" and asked the woman if they could wait for him to return to the apartment. Ražnatović's mother phoned him to say that two unknown males waited for him.<ref name="Arkanova ostavština" /> Ražnatović showed up with a [[revolver]] and proceeded to shoot and wound both policemen. He was detained immediately; however, barely 48 hours later, he was released. The occurrence made it clear to all observers, especially his criminal rivals, that he enjoyed protection from the highest echelons of the Yugoslav state security establishment.

Ražnatović spent the mid-1980s running the Amadeus [[discothèque]] together with Žika Živac and Tapi Malešević. Located in the [[Tašmajdan]] neighbourhood, the nightclub was reportedly another perk of their contractual work for the UDBA.<ref name="Arkanova ostavština" /> Moreover, Ražnatović could be seen driving around Belgrade in a pink [[Cadillac]] and gambling on [[roulette]] in casinos all over the country, from Belgrade (Hotel "Slavija") and nearby [[Pančevo]] to [[Sveti Stefan]] (Hotel Maestral on the [[Budva Riviera#Miločer|Miločer]] beach) and [[Portorož]] (Hotel Metropol).<ref name="Arkanova ostavština" />

An avid gambler, following a private game of [[poker]] in an apartment at Ive Lole Ribara Street in Belgrade, Ražnatović got into an elevator altercation with a tenant from the apartment building, reportedly breaking the man's arm after beating him with a gun. Ražnatović could not avoid being charged this time and the trial saw a notable exchange between him and the judge; during the pre-session identification, Ražnatović stated he was an employee of the Secretariat of Internal Affairs (SUP). When this was challenged by the [[prosecutor]], Ražnatović produced a document summarizing a mortgage loan he obtained from the UDBA for his house at Ljutice Bogdana Street. He ended up receiving a six-month sentence, which he served at the Belgrade Central Prison.<ref name="Arkanova ostavština" /> In the late 1980s, a [[football hooligan]] subculture had emerged in Yugoslavia and the unruly and rowdy fans of the Red Star Belgrade football team were seen as a major social problem.{{sfn|Schlichte|2010|p=319}} At the request of the Ministry of the Interior, Ražnatović took over the ''Delije'' ("Heroes") fan club of Red Star Belgrade in an attempt to impose some control on the hooligans.{{sfn|Schlichte|2010|p=319}} Ražnatović quickly became a hero to the ''Delije'' club by his ability to arrange for them to go to Western Europe whenever Red Star Belgrade played a game in a Western European city.{{sfn|Schlichte|2010|p=319}}
