The Yugoslav secret service has always maintained that Ante Stojanov , who was convicted by Stockholm District Court for complicity to murder , was , in fact , the mastermind behind the attack and aircraft hijacking , which Stoyanov later admitted . He supervised the operation from a bar on Strandvägen . Ante Stojanov , was convicted of complicity to the murder of the Yugoslav ambassador , while his then twenty-year-old cousin Miro Barešić along with Anđelko Brajković were convicted to life imprisonment . Stojanov and the other two assailants , Marinko Lemo and Stanislav Milicevic , was sentenced in the same trial to between two and four years in prison and deportation .

A furious Milorad Pesic was met at the airport by the State Secretary Thage G. Peterson . During the journey towards Stockholm and the waiting Prime Minister Olof Palme , a shocked Peterson were told how the Deputy Minister demanded that the arrested should be cut into pieces .
