Milan prosecutors are investigating “sniper safaris” that allegedly took place in wartime Sarajevo during the brutal Bosnia War, in the early to mid 1990’s, following a formal criminal complaint submitted by Milan writer Ezio Gavazzeni. He said that he had read about them in the Italian press in the 1990’s and began gathering evidence after seeing a haunting 2022 documentary about wealthy Italians and other rich westerners travelling to Sarajevo, paying the Serbian army large sums of money, to hunt down civilians of all ages for sport. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, François Picard welcomes Janine di Giovanni, Executive Director of The Reckoning Project, Senior Fellow at Yale University Jackson School of Global Affairs, Guggenheim Fellow and wartime reporter during the siege of Sarajevo.
