Overview
- Prosecutors in Milan opened the investigation last week to identify Italian suspects on potential charges of voluntary murder aggravated by cruelty and abject motives.
- Croatian investigative journalist Domagoj Margetić has filed a complaint naming President Aleksandar Vučić as present at a Sarajevo militia post linked to the alleged scheme.
- Vučić and his spokeswoman deny any combat role or involvement in so‑called human safaris during the 1992–96 siege.
- The inquiry draws on evidence compiled by writer Ezio Gavazzeni and a report from former Sarajevo mayor Benjamina Karić, after renewed attention from the 2022 documentary Sarajevo Safari.
- Witness accounts and reporting describe foreigners paying large sums—reported up to £88,000—to reach sniper sites, with a former Italian diplomat citing intelligence that some traveled via Trieste before the flow was halted.
