Milan Opens Homicide Probe Into Alleged 'Human Safari' Killings During Sarajevo Siege

The case stems from a journalist's dossier alleging large payments by Italian clients to Bosnian Serb units to shoot civilians.

Overview

  • Chief prosecutor Alessandro Gobbi confirmed an investigation for voluntary homicide aggravated by cruelty and abject motives.
  • Prosecutors say a list of suspects and witnesses will be summoned, following claims surfaced by the 2022 documentary Sarajevo Safari.
  • Accounts under review describe fees of €80,000–€100,000 for escorted access to sniper positions above Sarajevo, with reports of higher prices to target children.
  • The complaint cites potential Italian suspects, including a Milan clinic owner and citizens from Turin and Trieste, with travel routes reportedly involving Trieste and the charter airline Aviogenex.
  • A similar case in Bosnia was previously archived for lack of evidence, and some former Bosnian Serb veterans deny the allegations as fabricated.
