Prosecutors in Milan are investigating Italian citizens accused of having paid Serbian soldiers to shoot at the population of Sarajevo during the Bosnian war in the 90s.

Groups of Italian citizens and from other nationalities, referred to as "sniper tourists", are accused of participating in the massacre of the inhabitants of Sarajevo during the Bosnian war, paying soldiers of Radovan Karadžić to transport them on the hills surrounding the besieged city. Prosecutors in Milan, led by Alessandro Gobbi, have opened an investigation to identify the individuals involved, accused of aggravated voluntary manslaughter.

The investigation was initiated following a complaint by writer Ezio Gavazzeni, who gathered evidence and was inspired by the documentary "Sarajevo Safari". Gavazzeni claims that many Westerners, attracted by violence, paid large sums to shoot at civilians, without political motivation. The suspects gathered in Trieste and traveled to Belgrade, where they were accompanied by Serbian soldiers. The evidence collected could lead to a serious investigation, considering the devastating impact of snipers on the population, including famous cases such as that of the couple Boško Brkić and Admira Ismić.
