Shocking investigation in Italy: Wealthy tourists paid thousands of dollars to

The Milan prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into several Italian tourists who allegedly paid up to $90,000 to participate in a "human safari" during the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s, with additional charges for the murder of children, international media report.

According to the investigation, wealthy Italians with connections in far-right circles were traveling from Trieste to Belgrade on the Serbian airline Aviogenex, to join Bosnian Serb soldiers who were holding the Bosnian capital under siege for the weekend.

They allegedly paid $90,000 to shoot at unarmed civilians from the hills surrounding the city.

During the four-year siege of Sarajevo (1992–1996), over 10,000 people lost their lives to snipers and shelling, in the longest such event in modern history. Streets such as Ulica Zmaja od Bosne and Bulevardi Meša Selimović became known as “Sniper Street” due to the constant risk of bullets.

The investigation began after a 17-page lawsuit filed by Milanese writer and journalist Ezio Gavazzeni, with the support of former magistrate Guido Salvini and former Sarajevo mayor Benjamina Karić (2021–2024). The case was inspired by the documentary “Sarajevo Safari” by Slovenian director Miran Zupanić, released in 2022, which contained shocking evidence of “sniper tourism.”

Gavazzeni told La Repubblica that they were "wealthy, reputable people, businessmen who left Trieste to take part in a manhunt and then returned to their respectable lives."

He added that there could be up to 100 tourists involved in this inhumane practice.

Prosecutor Alessandro Gobbi is said to have a list of witnesses who could provide evidence. One of them, a Bosnian intelligence agent with the initials ES, has claimed that Italian secret services were aware of the incident as early as 1993 and that classified files on the matter still exist.

The Bosnian consul in Milan, Dag Dumrukčić, confirmed to La Repubblica that the Bosnian government is fully cooperating with Italian authorities. “We are determined to uncover the truth and confront this dark chapter of the past,” he said.
