URGENT: Italy Investigates Alleged War Crimes: Tourists Paid to Shoot Civilians in Bosnian Conflict

Breaking News: Italy Investigates Alleged War Crimes in Bosnia The public prosecutor's office in Milan has launched an investigation into claims that Italian citizens paid to shoot at civilians in Sarajevo during the Bosnian war in the early 1990s. The probe was triggered by a complaint filed by journalist and novelist Ezio Gavazzeni. Italian citizens allegedly traveled to Bosnia on "sniper safaris" and paid large sums to shoot at civilians risking their lives to cross the city's main boulevard. The victims were reportedly charged different rates based on their age and gender. Over 11,000 people died during the brutal four-year siege of Sarajevo. The Bosnian war was a brutal conflict that tore Yugoslavia apart, with Sarajevo surrounded by Serb forces and subjected to constant shelling and sniper fire. Similar allegations of "human hunters" from abroad have been made in the past. The Milan investigation is ongoing, and it is unclear what evidence has been gathered so far. The Italian authorities have not commented on the specifics of the case. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available. This is a developing story.
