Wealthy foreigners paid £80k to shoot civilians in besieged Sarajevo, Italian prosecutors claim
Witnesses say the trips were arranged from the north-eastern city of Trieste. Participants were allegedly taken to sniper positions in the hills overlooking Sarajevo by Bosnian Serb militias loyal to Radovan Karadzic, who was later convicted of genocide and crimes against humanity.

Edin Subasic, a former Bosnian intelligence officer, said a captured Serb soldier told him Italians had paid to fire sniper rifles at civilians.
A former US marine, John Jordan, testified to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in 2007 that “tourist shooters” came to Sarajevo “to take pot shots at civilians for their own gratification.”

A known case involved Russian nationalist Eduard Limonov, who was filmed in 1992 firing on Sarajevo alongside Karadzic. Limonov died in Moscow in 2020.
