Veljko Čubrilović

Veljko Čubrilović (July, 1886 - February 3, 1915), is noted for being involved in the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.

He was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He became a schoolteacher in Priboj, but in 1914, as a member of the Black Hand secret society, agreed to help Gavrilo Princip, Nedjelko Cabrinovic, and Trifko Grabez to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand. His brother, Vaso Cubrilovic, was also involved in the plot.

On Sunday, June 28, 1914, Franz Ferdinand and Sophie von Chotkovato were assassinated by Gavrilo Princip. Princip and Nedjelko Cabrinovic were captured and interrogated by the police. They eventually gave the names of their fellow conspirators. Muhamed Mehmedbasic managed to escape to Serbia but Cubrilovic, Danilo Ilic, Vaso Cubrilovic, Cvijetko Popovic and Misko Jovanovic were arrested and charged with treason and murder.

All the men were found guilty. Under Austro-Hungarian law, capital punishment could not be imposed on someone who was under the age of twenty when they had committed the crime. Nedjelko Cabrinovic, Gavrilo Princip and Trifko Grabez therefore received the maximum penalty of twenty years. Vaso Cubrilovic was sentenced to 16 years and Cvijetko Popovic to 13 years. Veljko Cubrilovic, Misko Jovanovic and Danilo Ilic, who helped the assassins kill the royal couple, were executed on 3rd February, 1915.
