Overview
- Milan prosecutors registered an 80-year-old former truck driver from Pordenone as the first suspect and have scheduled his questioning for February 9.
- Carabinieri searched his home and found seven legally owned firearms as he is investigated for repeated voluntary homicide with prosecutors weighing aggravating 'abhorrent' motives.
- The inquiry focuses on allegations that foreigners paid to shoot civilians from the hills around besieged Sarajevo in the 1990s.
- Investigators’ working accounts describe participants meeting in Trieste, flying to Belgrade, and paying up to €100,000 to be escorted to firing positions above the city.
- The probe follows a 17‑page complaint by journalist Ezio Gavazzeni and draws on testimony from former Bosnian agent Edin Subašić and ex‑diplomat Michael Giffoni, with related leads reported in France, Switzerland, and Belgium and separate accusations against Serbia’s president publicly denied.
