Lake Perucac, situated on the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, was drained in 2010 during turbine repair work at the Bajina Basta hydroelectric dam. This led to the discovery of skeletal remains along the exposed banks, revealing victims of the 1992 massacre in the town of Visegrad. The massacre, carried out by Bosnian Serb forces, resulted in the killing of over 2,000 Bosniak civilians who were thrown into the Drina River. The repairs allowed for the search and exhumation of more than 200 bodies before the dam's reopening. The investigation shed light on the extent of the atrocities committed and highlighted the challenges of locating missing persons. Volunteers and investigators dedicated efforts to recover remains and personal belongings, revealing the brutal nature of the crimes committed. The search received limited support from state institutions and politicians, with ordinary people offering their assistance instead. Eventually, the water level was raised, leaving unidentified remains permanently concealed. In subsequent years, DNA analysis identified the exhumed victims, including those from Visegrad, Srebrenica, Zepa, and other incidents. Lake Perucac remains one of the largest mass graves in modern European history, with many victims still submerged in its waters.

In this modest apartment situated in the small town of Campobello di Mazara in the west part of Sicily, the 60 year old Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro had lived at least the last 6 months before being arrested in Palermo on January 16th, 2023. Viagra pills, condoms, expensive shoes, restaurant receipts, and designer clothes were some of the items found in the house.

The private health facility La Maddalena located in Via San Lorenzo, 312/D Palermo, is the location where on January 16th, 2023 the mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro, one of the world’s most-wanted criminals who had spent 30 years on the run, has been arrested. At approximately 8.30am Matteo Messina Denaro entered La Maddalena clinic with a sheet of paper in his hand containing the negative result of a Covid test. When the police broke into the building to arrest him, 'U Siccu' (the skinny one), allegedly tried to flee but, on realising he was surrounded, did not put up any resistance.
