Ezio Gavazzeni

Ezio Gavazzeni, an 80-year-old Italian man, is currently under investigation by prosecutors in Milan for alleged involvement in "sniper tourism" during the siege of Sarajevo (1992-1995) in Bosnia. He is the first individual identified in this probe. The investigation centers on claims that Gavazzeni paid members of the Bosnian Serb army for trips to Sarajevo, enabling him to allegedly kill citizens during the four-year siege. He faces charges of aggravated murder, including premeditated murder. The investigation is ongoing and seeks to determine the extent of Gavazzeni's alleged participation in these activities and the veracity of the claims against him. This case highlights the ongoing efforts to investigate and prosecute individuals potentially involved in war crimes during the Bosnian War.
