Italian aristocrat eyed in twisted Sarajevo 'human safari' killings: report

Key Points:

• An unnamed Italian aristocrat from Milan is accused of paying large sums to join snipers in Sarajevo during the Bosnian war, participating in "human safari" killings targeting civilians.
• The man allegedly boasted about his involvement in these sniper tours, which involved shooting innocent people, including women and children, from strategic positions alongside Serbian gunmen.
• Italian authorities have questioned several suspects and raided a suspect's home, recovering a silencer, while investigations have expanded across Europe following the 2022 documentary "Sarajevo Safari."
• Evidence suggests sniper tourists paid upwards of $90,000 to participate, with additional fees for targeting vulnerable groups, prompting magistrates from multiple countries to collaborate on the case at a June 29 meeting in The Hague.
• Witnesses and former combatants have described how foreign hunters, including Italians, Germans, and British, were guided by Serbian militants to shoot civilians from vantage points such as Sarajevo’s Jewish cemetery.
