Milan Opens Investigation Into Alleged Sarajevo ‘Sniper Safaris’ After New Filing Names Vučić

Prosecutors are assessing submitted media alongside witness leads, with decades-old material still unverified.

Overview

  • The Milan public prosecutor opened a case for suspected multiple murders motivated by base motives following a complaint by Italian author Ezio Gavazzeni.
  • Croatian journalist Domagoj Margetić filed a separate complaint that names Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić, saying he supplied photos, video and audio allegedly placing him at wartime posts above Sarajevo.
  • The presidential office rejects the accusations as malicious disinformation, stating Vučić neither fought nor used weapons and worked as a journalist or translator during the war.
  • Investigators are expected to hear figures such as former Bosnian intelligence aide Edin Subašić, while Italy’s Five Star Movement seeks access to any SISMI/AISE files.
  • Earlier Bosnian inquiries after the 2022 documentary Sarajevo Safari produced no charges, and widely cited trip prices of €80,000–€100,000 and alleged surcharges for children remain unproven.
