Intelligence files compiled by Bosnian military analysts during the 1992-1996 siege of Sarajevo are emerging as crucial evidence that could expose wealthy individuals who allegedly paid up to £76,000 ($100,000) to shoot civilians. This long and brutal siege remains the longest in modern European history, with over 11,000 deaths across 1,425 days of relentless bombardment.
The documents, gathered by Bosnian military intelligence officer Edin Subasic in 1993, include interrogations of captured Serbian volunteer soldiers. One such soldier from Paracin described witnessing Italian nationals paying for frontline access, highlighting organised payment structures and travel logistics routed through Serbian State Security channels. These files now sit at the centre of an investigation in Milan, offering a disturbing glimpse into a lucrative and murderous 'sniper tourism' during the conflict.
