Ramiz Delalic (15 February 1963 – 27 June 2007), widely known by his nickname Celo (Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [t?elo]), was the commander of the 9th Mountain Brigade in Sarajevo, and gained notoriety as the main suspect who stood trial before a local court for the killing of Nikola Gardovic on 1 March 1992.
The murder, taking place during a Serb wedding in front of the old Orthodox Church in Sarajevo. Delalic was also one of several prominent underworld figures who helped to defend Sarajevo during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Despite the rumours surrounding him later during the war, namely his purported racketeering and extortion rings, his acts during the wartime were still considered far less controversial when compared to other local warlords, such as Jusuf "Juka" Prazina.
Unlike Prazina and some other local gangsters, Delalic remained loyal and obedient to official Bosnian political and military authorities through the entire war-period, and it is even assumed that he was very close with Bosnian president Alija Izetbegovic.
