Overview

  • Italian prosecutor Alessandro Gobbis has opened an early-stage case against unknown persons, with no formal suspects or interrogations ordered yet.
  • Journalist Ezio Gavazzeni’s 17-page filing and access to Sarajevo Safari archives underpin the case, and a witness list is being assembled.
  • Investigators are examining allegations that wealthy foreigners paid about €80,000–€100,000 to shoot civilians, with higher prices reported for targeting children.
  • A former Bosnian intelligence agent identified as E.S. reportedly warned Italy’s Sismi in 1993 about at least five Italians near Sarajevo, including men linked to Milan, Turin and Trieste.
  • Reported logistics include trips routed via Trieste and flights to Belgrade, with Bosnian authorities signaling cooperation as Milan examines potential multiple-homicide charges aggravated by cruelty.
