EUROPEAN JUSTICE PROBES "HUMAN SAFARIS" WHERE RICH TOURISTS PAID TO SHOOT CIVILIANS IN BOSNIAN WAR
European investigators are finally taking action against the horrific "human safaris" where wealthy foreigners allegedly paid to hunt and kill civilians during the bloody 1990s Bosnian War. Eurojust, the EU’s judicial agency, will meet with Milan prosecutors next Monday to coordinate an international probe, The Sun can reveal.
The case, first opened in Italy last year, has now spread to Austria, Belgium, and Bosnia, with suspects identified in multiple countries. Eurojust refused to confirm details, but sources say the meeting aims to unify efforts as evidence mounts.
ITALY’S LEAD ROLE
Italian prosecutors Paolo Gobbis and Marcello Viola are investigating four nationals suspected of premeditated murder. Among them:
- An 80-year-old ex-truck driver from northern Italy, whose home raid uncovered a bust of fascist dictator Mussolini. His lawyers deny any involvement.
- A Lombardy businessman allegedly part of a secret hunting club of "rich, bored" elites who sought warzone thrills. He dismisses the case as "fantasies."
- Two others: a Piedmont man and a Tuscan hunter.
HUNTING CIVILIANS FOR SPORT
The scandal erupted after writer Ezio Gavazzeni spent years gathering testimonies about wealthy Europeans who paid to shoot Bosnian civilians during the war. Though rumored for decades, proof was scarce—until now.
Prosecutors are racing to verify 30-year-old evidence, interviewing witnesses and cross-checking documents from Bosnia and Italy. But insiders admit the case hangs by a thread, with challenges in securing trial-worthy proof.
WHY NOW?
With multiple EU countries involved, pressure is building to deliver justice—but time is running out. As one source put it: "This isn’t just about four men. It’s about exposing a monstrous industry that treated war as a playground."
