The Milan Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating the Italians who allegedly paid to shoot civilians during the siege of Sarajevo
Prosecutor Alessandro Gobbis has opened an investigation into Italians linked to the extreme right who allegedly paid 100,000 euros between 1992 and 1996 to act as snipers during the siege of Sarajevo.
The Milan Public Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation into the alleged involvement in the Bosnian war of several Italians who allegedly paid to shoot civilians during the siege of Sarajevo.
Prosecutor Alessandro Gobbis is trying to identify these "war tourists" who are supposed to live in the Piedmont, Triveneto or Lombardy regions of northern Italy and who have links to the far right . They are being investigated for voluntary homicide with the aggravation of cruelty and abominable causes, and several witnesses have said that there was a price list for killing children too.
The Italian authorities have several witnesses, including a former Bosnian intelligence officer who claims to have heard a Serbian soldier describe the transfer of these snipers from Belgrade to the hills around Sarajevo.
The complaint was filed by photographer and journalist Ezio Gavazzeni, backed by Judge Guido Salvini and former Sarajevo Mayor Benjamin Karic, who has collected documents and testimonies to identify those responsible for these crimes, according to the prosecution.
These events, known in Italy as "death safaris, "were reported in the documentary Sarajevo Safari (2022) by Slovenian director Miran Zupancic, which referred to the participation of citizens of Italy, the United States and Russia. In 2022, the Bosnia-Herzegovina Public Prosecutor's Office also opened an investigation into this film.
The Sarajevo siege, which lasted for nearly four years, left more than 11,500 victims and was one of the worst episodes of the Bosnian war. As a result, the Hague Court sentenced the Bosnian Serb leaders Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic to life imprisonment.
