Overview
- The investigation, led by prosecutor Alessandro Gobbis, is filed against unknown persons on suspicion of aggravated multiple homicide and is in early fact-finding stages.
- The case stems from an esposto by writer Ezio Gavazzeni citing a former Bosnian intelligence officer and alleging paid trips from northern Italy to shoot civilians, including a purported killing tariff.
- The filing reports that Bosnian intelligence alerted Italy’s Sismi in late 1993 to at least five Italians on the hills around Sarajevo, with leads pointing to men from Turin, Milan and Trieste.
- On record are the complaint, attachments and access to the 2022 documentary Sarajevo Safari, while former Sarajevo mayor Benjamina Karić sent a report; one outlet says prosecutors have acquired Hague tribunal records.
- Some coverage describes broader, unverified claims—such as organized routes via Trieste and Aviogenex and figures of up to 200 Italians—which prosecutors have yet to corroborate.
