For nearly four years, Sarajevo endured one of modern Europe's longest sieges marked by systematic sniper attacks that targeted civilians — including children — to spread terror. But beyond the military campaign, a darker truth persisted: wealthy foreigners paid tens of thousands of euros to hunt civilians in organized "sniper safaris." For three decades, these crimes went unpunished, shrouded in silence and bureaucratic failings.
In this comprehensive episode, we trace the full story — from the siege’s horrors to the sniper safaris’ chilling operation — and reveal how a breakthrough documentary and the determination of Sarajevo's mayor reignited the call for justice. We delve into the evidence painstakingly compiled by investigative journalists and lawyers, the formal murder investigation launched by Italian prosecutors in 2025, and the international cooperation fueling new hope.
