Prosecutors in Italy are investigating one of the most horrifying stories of the year: war tourists paid to kill civilians.
…participants would be given a ‘price list’ for the type of kill, with children costing the most.
Multiple media outlets have claimed that wealthy people underwent ‘weekend safaris” to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, to shoot at unarmed civilians.
The alleged ‘safaris’ took place during the Sarajevo Siege, which lasted from 1992 to 1996, and claimed more than 11,000 victims.
The Sarajevo Siege was already gruesome, as the Bosnian-Serb force besieged the city in what was the longest siege on a city in modern European history.
Who took part?
Journalist Ezio Gavazzeni sparked the investigation after filing a legal complaint, complete with evidence, to Italian prosecutors, claiming “murder aggravated by cruelty and despicable motives”.
Gavazzeni described the demographic that took part in the killings as “wealthy people with reputations, entrepreneurs, who during the siege of Sarajevo paid to be able to kill defenceless civilians.”
According to Gavazzeni, between 1992 and 1996, Italian citizens would gather in Trieste, Italy, on the border with former Yugoslavia on Fridays for a weekend of “hunting”.
These Italians, being painted as ‘gun enthusiasts’ and ‘right-wing sympathizers,’ reportedly paid up to 100,000 euros (adjusted for inflation) per day to participate in the killings.
Gavazzeni claims the participants would be given a ‘price list’ for the type of kill, and that foreigners would pay for whom they wanted to target, with children costing the most, then men, women, and finally elderly people, who could be killed free of charge.
Gavazzeni outlined the exact demographic for the participants:
“People with a passion for weapons, to indulge, who prefer to go to bed with a rifle, with money at their disposal and the right contacts of facilitators between Italy and Serbia. It’s the indifference of evil: becoming God and remaining unpunished,”
He went on to say the perpetrators had « no political or religious motivations. »
They were simply killing for fun.
Who knew?
Serbia has denied any knowledge of the killings, but experts cast doubt on the comment.
According to Subasic, the Bosnian military intelligence officer who is expected to testify to the prosecution claimed the way that the trips were organized pointed directly to the Serbian State Security Service being “behind it all”.
The investigation is expected to last well into the new year, as evidence and sources must be compiled, as well as a directive for the prosecution.
In 2022, a documentary titled Sarajevo Safari was released by director Miran Zupanic, which revealed the crimes of the Sarajevo Siege.

DJT vs MJT: It’s war!
Donald Trump has finally had enough with Marjorie Taylor Greene, and unsurprisingly, Jeffrey Epstein was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
MTG has been consistent on her anti-Epstein messaging, frequently telling the media she believes all the files should be unclassified. Initially, this opinion aligned with Trump’s politics.
In 2024, Donald Trump ran on a platform dedicated to declassifying the Epstein files, even though it was reported that Trump himself was a frequent character.
As soon as Trump began his second term, he flipped on the Epstein issue, claiming the files were a ‘hoax’ and frequently downplaying the crimes of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, his partner-in-crime.
Greene’s comments
The comments that finally made Trump shut the door on MTG came on Friday morning, with Greene appearing on CBS Mornings. Greene told hosts Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson that Trump is making a ‘huge miscalculation” by dismissing the bipartisan group of House representatives pushing to release the Epstein files.
“Just being very honest with you, it’s something that I don’t understand, [the government] will not protect the predators,”
Trump snaps
Trump initially took to Truth Social to make his opinions known, calling Greene a “raving lunatic” (yes, really), and claiming she has gone “far-left” because of her recent comments criticizing Republicans on the Epstein issue and the government shutdown.
“I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support,”
Trump added that he would no longer take Greene’s calls, effectively ending their relationship.
Greene responds
On her part, Greene didn’t take the comments lying down, stating on Twitter, “I have supported President Trump with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him.”
She added that she “don’t worship Donald Trump,” saying something that most Republican politicians can’t.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has been one of Donald Trump’s most effective allies since 2016, and she is currently one of the most popular Republican representatives holding office.
Donald Trump has denied any wrongdoing regarding his friendship with criminal sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Unfortunately for DJT, there seems to be mounting evidence saying the contrary.
The House of Representatives will take up the Epstein vote again next week. The motion to release the files was last blocked in September, with Republican congresspeople outvoting Democrats 51-49.
New emails released
The Epstein situation found its way above the fold after new emails from Epstein were released last week. Though none of the emails explicitly outlined criminal wrongdoing by Donald Trump, his name was mentioned more than 150 times, according to the CBC.
One email claimed that Trump “knew about the girls,” and another claimed he was “the dog that hasn’t barked.”
Just a week ago, the United States officially recognized Syria’s president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, as a “specially designated global terrorist.”
Now, he’s shaking hands and smiling in the Oval Office.
On Monday, Ahmed al-Sharaa became the first Syrian president to cross the threshold of the West Wing, a feat that is noteworthy in and of itself, but becomes even more so when we remember that Sharaa only recently had a $10m bounty on his head; with the US only lifting it in December 2024.
A shocking meeting
Sharaa’s meeting with Trump in the White House may be the most astonishing meeting ever hosted at the White House.
Remember, Sharaa was so captivated by 9/11 that he copied Osama bin Laden’s look, pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda and led a militia that used suicide bombers to wage jihad in Syria and Iraq.
Now he’s standing in the White House.
A shady entrance
The route that Sharaa took to enter the White House spoke volumes about how the administration feels about the meetings.
Hiden from the media and television cameras, Sharaa entered the building through West Executive Avenue, rather than being driven to the front door of the West Wing as is customary for the arrival of world leaders.
Sharaa left the White House about two hours later and was greeted by a mob of supporters.
Not the first meeting
Trump and Sharaa first met in May at a summit in Saudi Arabia. At the time, Trump called the (former?) jihadist a “young, attractive guy. Tough guy. Strong past, very strong past. Fighter.”
Interesting wording for someone labelled a “global terrorist” by the… United States.
After the meeting at the Oval Office, Trump claimed Sharaa is a “very strong leader”.
“He comes from a very tough place, and he’s a tough guy. I liked him. I get along with him… the new president of Syria, and we’ll do everything we can to make Syria successful.”
Trump may have chosen to give Sharaa the benefit of the doubt, but experts are hesitant.
“It’s a colossal gamble. He could be a valuable ally. He could be the devil incarnate.” Said a former Western diplomat who served in the Middle East.
Sharaa‘s shift
Over the last five years, Sharaa has shifted his views slightly, going from a hardline Islamist who banned Christmas and persecuted minorities to a president who apologized to Christian clergymen and worked to return stolen property to religious minorities.
At the request of the Turkish government, Sharaa reportedly began cooperating with intelligence agencies around the world, including the CIA and MI6, among others.
Additionally, at the request of Western countries, Sharaa detained wanted jihadists connected to Europe, and even reportedly assisted in the operation that killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Experts warn that Sharaa is almost certainly acting in his own interests, not Washington’s, but for now, Syria’s president may be an unlikely ally – and in a country whose trade deals have fallen in pieces at their feet, Trump seems to think Sharaa is worth the risk.
In yet another example of the Trump administration’s shocking incompetence, it’s been revealed that an ex-Trump golf course employee was illegally deported to Mexico.
For ten years, Alejandro Juarez served Donald Trump to the best of his abilities. Juarez worked at Trump National Golf Club Westchester for a decade. While employed, he built a life for himself in New York: a wife, two kids, and a full-time job in America. For most immigrants who flee their country, Juarez was living the dream.
That dream was first battered in 2019, when Trump unceremoniously fired Juarez and a dozen other workers for being undocumented.
“He told me, ‘Thanks, Alejandro, thanks for everything.”
-Alejandro Juarez
Now? That dream is shattered, and Juarez’s family is left trying to sweep up the broken pieces of their lives in America.
Illegally deported
In September 2025, Juarez was ousted from the US and returned to Mexico, more than two decades after he fled the country. Alejandro Juarez didn’t receive a hearing, didn’t appear before a judge, and by the time of his scheduled hearing on September 25, he had already been deported back to Mexico.
“This is unprecedented in my 20 years of practice—an individual being removed without any hearing, leaving even the court and DHS confused,” Juarez’s lawyer, Anibal Romero, told the Times.
Initially, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told the media that Juarez had been arrested for a DUI conviction from 2022, but later admitted to mishandling Juarez completely.
According to DHS, Juarez was supposed to be sent to an ICE detention center in Arizona, but instead was popped on a plane to Mexico.
Per DHS’s comments, Juarez was accidentally sent to Mexico. Yes, accidentally.
Trump administration officials said they would attempt to bring Juarez back to the U.S., but said they would be deporting him again, this time attempting to do so legally.
All-knowing and powerless?
Juarez’s is not the first case of this nature. Last spring, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father who was mistakenly deported to the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador, despite a court order barring his repatriation.
Trump initially claimed that he lacked the power to return Garcia from prison, but the Supreme Court ruled that his administration would have to find a way to secure Garcia’s release.
Garcia was returned to the U.S. in June 2025, but was arrested by ICE in August during a mandatory check-in with DHS. Garcia is currently out on bail, having pled not guilty to a charge of human trafficking.
Garcia is citing vindictive prosecution.
In a move that is clearly furthering the US’s position amid tensions with Venezuela, the USS Gerald Ford has been deployed in the area of responsibility of the US Southern Command, which covers Latin America and the Caribbean.
With USS Gerald Ford now patrolling, there are now 15,000 American soldiers in Latin America, and 60 planes, including F-18 fighter jets.
“These forces will enhance and augment existing capabilities to disrupt narcotics trafficking and degrade and dismantle transnational criminal organizations,”
-Sean Parnell, Pentagon spokesperson
The deployment of the ship and its fleet was announced three weeks ago, but its arrival marks a significant signpost in military tensions between the US and Venezuela.
President Maduro responds
Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro announced a “massive deployment” of land, sea, air, river and missile forces, as well as civilian militia, to counter the US naval presence off its coast.
Maduro is accusing the US of “fabricating a new war” and said the military deployment represents “the greatest threat our continent has faced in the past 100 years”.
Maduro has a point, with the arrival of the USS Gerald Ford and it’s accompaniment, which includes dozens of aircraft and destroyer ships forms the largest US military presence in the region in decades – seen as the biggest since the invasion of Panama in 1989.
The USS Gerald Ford has joined other warships, a nuclear-powered submarine and aircraft based in Puerto Rico.
Trump’s justification
Trump has justified all of the military attacks in the Caribbean Sea over the last three months as part of his “war on drugs,” but experts have questioned the validity of the claim, especially since drugs have only been recovered from one of the 20 vessels sunk by the US.
[The US is] stretching the meaning of the term [self-defense] beyond it’s breaking point… Labelling everyone a terrorist does not make them a lawful target and enables states to side-step international law. »
-Prof Michael Becker of Trinity College Dublin, human rights expert
Trump has claimed that all 20 boats sunk by US strikes were carrying drugs for Venezuelan cartels, including the Tren de Aragua. The only problem is that at least three of the vessels have been confirmed to have been Colombian, without any attachment to Venezuela or the cartels peddled by Trump.
On Sunday, the summit for the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States made a statement informally directed at the United States:
“The use or threat of use of force and any action not in accordance with international law and the Charter of the United Nations.”
Venezuela and Nicaragua were the only countries not to sign the declaration, and Maduro’s regime reportedly expected a direct condemnation of the US rather than a vague statement.
Political motivations
Most analysts see the US attacks as a way to pressure Nicolas Maduro to step down, after stealing last years presidential election.
Maduro lost the Venezuelan election in June of last year, and Venezuela proved it with its own polling technology. Regardless of the loss, Maduro is still in power and has refused to step down.
Polling data has found that Maduro only won 30% of the Venezuelan vote, compared to the oppositions 67%. Not only did Maduro lose, but it was a landslide loss.
More than 1,200 opposition activists and volunteers have been arrested in Venezuela since the election last year.
It is not clear what will be the US’s next action. President Trump was reportedly briefed on multiple options, air strikes on seaports, airports and military facilities, and a dramatic (if less likely) option: sending in a team of special operations forces to apprehend or kill Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro and his senior advisers. This, of course, would be an overt act of war that experts say even Trump would be hesitant to commit to.
