The fact Milan prosecutors had opened a case was first reported back in July when Il Giornale website wrote that the Italians would arrive in the mountains by minivan, paying huge bribes to pass checkpoints as they went, pretending to be on a humanitarian mission.
After a weekend shooting in the war zone, they would return home to their normal lives.
Gavazzeni described their actions as the "indifference of evil".

The public prosecutor's office in Milan has opened an investigation into claims that Italian citizens travelled to Bosnia-Herzegovina on "sniper safaris" during the war in the early 1990s.
Italians and others are alleged to have paid large sums to shoot at civilians in the besieged city of Sarajevo.
The Milan complaint was filed by journalist and novelist Ezio Gavazzeni, who describes a "manhunt" by "very wealthy people" with a passion for weapons who "paid to be able to kill defenceless civilians" from Serb positions in the hills around Sarajevo.
Different rates were charged to kill men, women or children, according to some reports.
More than 11,000 people died during the brutal four-year siege of Sarejevo.
Yugoslavia was torn apart by war and the city was surrounded by Serb forces and subjected to constant shelling and sniper fire.
Similar allegations about "human hunters" from abroad have been made several times over the years, but the evidence gathered by Gavazzeni, which includes the testimony of a Bosnian military intelligence officer, is now being examined by Italian counter terrorism prosecutor Alessandro Gobbis.
The charge is murder.
quote:
Speaking to Italy's La Repubblica newspaper, Gavazzeni alleges that "many" took part in the practice, "at least a hundred" in all, with Italians paying "a lot of money" to do so, up to €100,000 (£88,000) in today's terms.
In 1992, late Russian nationalist writer and politician Eduard Limonov was filmed firing multiple rounds into Sarajevo from a heavy machine gun.

Who the hell would want to do something like this?
Makes me wonder how far off "Hostel" was from reality.

That is beyond evil.
There is little more dangerous than a wealthy man that has it all and becomes "bored".
Imagine pricing the sniping of women and children.

I deployed to Bosnia in 1998 and then took part in the Kosovo operation at that time since we were in the AO.
Bosnia is a total fricking mess. Those Serb organizations like the Drina Wolves had a hotel on the Drina River south of Zvornik they called the frick Em and Chuck Em Hotel. They used to rape the Bosnian Muslims and throw them from the hotel on the bluffs down into the river. It was so bad that it was causing problems at the dam outside Zvornik.
Those people are holding grudges from centuries and by looking at them, you can't tell who's who. Total gagglefrick.
I have no doubt that some rogue Italian outfits were taking part in the fun.

See, Goodell was right. Bountygate was just a gateway crime.

This isn't really new information
This has been known for a long time
But most people are unaware of it

I get what you’re saying, but pricing the sniping of ANYONE is fricking insane.
