Rich ‘Sniper Tourists’ Allegedly Paid $90K to Shoot Civilians — Including Kids — During ‘Human Safari’ Trips to Sarajevo — New York Post
Wealthy “sniper tourists” allegedly paid upward of $90,000 to shoot people during “human safari” trips to Sarajevo in the 1990s — with an extra fee to kill children, according to wild claims being probed by Italian prosecutors.
The investigation was sparked after an Italian writer alleged he had uncovered evidence that wealthy gun enthusiasts — dubbed “sniper tourists” — would pay Bosnian Serb forces for the chance to gun down residents at random during the four-year siege of the city, the Guardian reported.
More than 10,000 were killed in Sarajevo by snipers and shelling between 1992 and 1996 during the Balkan Wars.
“There were Germans, French, English … people from all Western countries who paid large sums of money to be taken there to shoot civilians,” said Ezio Gavazzeni, the investigative writer.
“There were no political or religious motivations. They were rich people who went there for fun and personal satisfaction. We are talking about people who love guns who perhaps go to shooting ranges or on safari in Africa.”
Gavazzeni said he first read reports of the alleged tourist-led shootings in Italian media outlets in the ’90s, but started digging deeper after watching a 2022 documentary about a former Serb soldier who claimed foreigners would shoot at residents from the hills in Sarajevo.
He claims a key source was a former Bosnian intelligence officer.
The newly launched probe, being led by prosecutors in Milan, is seeking to identify any Italians involved in the so-called sniper tourism.
Gavazzeni said he had already uncovered the identities of some of the Italians allegedly involved in the massacre and they are expected to be questioned by prosecutors in the coming weeks.
The Bosnian Consulate in Milan said the Bosnian government would offer “total collaboration” amid the probe.
“We are impatient to discover the truth about such a cruel matter in order to close a chapter of history. I am in possession of certain information I will be sharing with the investigators,” a spokesperson said.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: Regarding The Alleged “Murder Tourism” Discussed Below, I Have Opened An Investigation Into This Matter And Am In Contact With The Bosnian Consulate As Well As The Italian Embassy. Paying Money To Shoot Civilians—and Even Worse To Shoot Children—is A Level Of Evil Our Country Cannot And Will Not Tolerate. Both The Italian And Bosnian Governments Will Be Sharing Any And All Information Regarding Any Americans That May Be Implicated. If There Are Any Americans Who Have Engaged In This, They Deserve To Be Charged And Prosecuted.
