Murder
In 1968 the dead body of Stevan Markovic himself was found in the outskirts of Paris. Alain Delon was under investigation, but he was never accused. One of the factors pointing in his direction was a letter by Stevan Markovic to his brother Aleksandar where he wrote: "If I get killed, it's 100% fault of Alain Delon and his godfather Francois Marcantoni."
His death provoked a political scandal, The Markovic affair, involving French President Georges Pompidou.
