Rich ‘Sniper Tourists’ Allegedly Paid $90K to Shoot Civilians — Including Kids — During ‘Human Safari’ Trips to Sarajevo, Wild Claims Allege
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.” (Read more from “Rich ‘Sniper Tourists’ Allegedly Paid $90K to Shoot Civilians — Including Kids — During ‘Human Safari’ Trips to Sarajevo, Wild Claims Allege” HERE)
