Overview
- Italy’s Milan prosecutor Alessandro Gobbis has launched an investigation for homicide aggravated by cruelty and base motives based on a complaint filed by journalist Ezio Gavazzeni.
- Prosecutors are preparing to summon witnesses and have a preliminary list of suspects that includes Italian nationals from Milan, Turin and Trieste, according to the coverage.
- Reports cited in the inquiry describe payments of roughly €80,000 to €100,000 for access to hill positions overlooking Sarajevo, with claims of a price list that assigned higher sums for killing children.
- The Gavazzeni dossier draws on testimonies highlighted in the 2022 documentary Sarajevo Safari and earlier accounts, while Serbian veterans have publicly rejected the allegations as false.
- Logistics described by Italian media include charter flights from Trieste via the Yugoslav carrier Aviogenex and onward transport into the war zone, as prosecutors move to hear victims’ families and other witnesses.
