Milan prosecutors investigate suspicions of "sniper tourism" during the Bosnian war
The Milan prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into several Italian citizens who allegedly paid Serbian soldiers to travel to Sarajevo during the Bosnian war, with the aim of shooting at civilians during the siege of the city.
The investigation began after a complaint by writer Ezio Gavazzeni, who gathered evidence after the screening of the documentary Sarajevo Safari, which alleged that "sniper tourists" from Western countries had participated in massacres for entertainment.
Italian authorities are investigating allegations of premeditated murder and inhuman motives, and some of the suspects are expected to be questioned in the coming weeks.
