Italy Investigates ‘Human Safaris’ in Sarajevo, First Suspect Questioned
The Milan Attorney General’s Office has registered its first suspect in an investigation into alleged organized trips from Europe to Sarajevo during the Bosnian War, where individuals reportedly paid to shoot civilians. An 80-year-old former truck driver is under investigation for repeated voluntary homicide, with prosecutors alleging he, in collusion with others, fired sniper rifles from hills surrounding the city, causing the deaths of defenseless civilians including women, the elderly, and children. The investigation, spurred by a writer’s complaint and corroborated by former intelligence officials and a documentary, also implicates participants from France, Switzerland, and Belgium, exploring motives considered particularly abhorrent.
