Overview
- An 80-year-old former truck driver from Pordenone has been registered as a suspect and is due for interrogation in Milan on February 9.
- Prosecutors allege he acted with others to kill unarmed civilians in Sarajevo between 1992 and 1995 using precision rifles, with the offense aggravated by base motives.
- ROS investigators searched his home and found seven legally owned firearms, and witnesses report he boasted of going on a “manhunt” during the siege.
- The inquiry is expanding with at least four additional positions under review, including checks on an ex alpine soldier, as authorities examine passports, tickets, and border logs tied to suspected departures from Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
- Cross-border cooperation is underway with the Residual Mechanism and Bosnian counterparts as prosecutors seek possible Sismi/AISI records and assess testimonies, including accounts flagged after the 2022 documentary Sarajevo Safari.
