Milan Prosecutor Opens Criminal Probe Into Alleged 'Human Safaris' in Sarajevo

The case centers on claims that wealthy foreigners paid set fees to shoot Sarajevo civilians during the siege.

Overview

  • Italian prosecutor Alessandro Gobbis has opened an inquiry against unknown persons for aggravated voluntary homicide tied to the 1992–96 siege of Sarajevo.
  • The investigation stems from a complaint by writer Ezio Gavazzeni with attorneys Nicola Brigida and Guido Salvini, who submitted documents and testimonies they say show organized trips from Italy to Bosnia.
  • Gobbis confirmed that at least three Italian citizens are being investigated for allegedly paying to participate as shooters targeting civilians.
  • Materials cited in media reports include alleged price lists of €80,000–€100,000 with higher tariffs for children, as well as corroborating testimony from ex Bosnian intelligence officer Edin Subasic.
  • Some outlets have named an unnamed Milan plastic surgeon as flagged in the filings, but identities reported in the press remain unconfirmed in court and no indictments have been announced.
