Italy reopens Europe's darkest secrets: Were wealthy men allowed to snipe civilians ‘for fun’?

Published on Nov 19, 2025 01:23 am IST

Italy may be about to unlock one of the Bosnia War’s darkest, least-known chapters and the questions now being raised cut straight to Europe’s moral core. What really happened on those hills around Sarajevo? Who were the outsiders allegedly paying to enter a warzone not as fighters, not as peacekeepers, but as hunters? And if prosecutors in Milan are correct, how did something this grotesque remain buried for three decades? In this episode, Ananya Dutta explores the explosive new investigation that suggests a network of wealthy foreigners, Italians, Germans, French, English, Americans, even Russians, may have travelled into Bosnia in the 1990s for what some witnesses now describe as a 'sadistic adrenaline rush'. If true, it redefines the cruelty of a war already known for ethnic cleansing and genocide. So what evidence has resurfaced? How credible are the allegations? And what does this say about how war keeps moving the goalpost of human depravity? We break it down, step by step.
