Overview
- The investigation began after writer Ezio Gavazzeni filed a detailed complaint with documents and testimonies collected over years, drawing in part on the 2022 documentary Sarajevo Safari.
- Prosecutors assigned the case to the Carabinieri’s ROS unit to identify participants and facilitators, verify witness statements and examine possible state intelligence records from the 1990s.
- Key witness Edin Subašić, a former Bosnian intelligence officer, describes foreigners traveling via Trieste to Belgrade before reaching Serb-held positions above Sarajevo to shoot civilians for payment.
- Reports cited by media refer to a purported price list that varied by target type, while prosecutors weigh potential charges such as aggravated multiple homicide under Italian law.
- A separate filing by Croatian journalist Domagoj Margetić alleges Aleksandar Vučić served at a position tied to such shootings, a claim now before Milan judges as authorities prepare to hear the Bosnian ex-intelligence witness.
