A Bosnian national who fled to the U.S. has been denaturalized after federal authorities learned he likely committed war crimes in his home country decades ago.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) just announced the revocation of citizenship for Sead Miljkovic, who entered the U.S. as “Sead Dukic” in 1996.
Miljkovic reportedly obtained U.S. citizenship in 2007 by hiding his true identity.
“Miljkovic is a former member of the security forces of the short-lived Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia (APZB), who was subject to an arrest warrant issued by a court in Bosnia for war crimes against civilians when the U.S. Government granted him naturalized citizenship,” the DOJ says.
An INTERPOL Red Notice was issued for Miljkovic in 2007 after Bosnian authorities determined he had “physically mistreated civilians” in 1994 as a member of the APZB.
At the time, Miljkovic and accomplices reportedly beat a dozen people and locked them in a morgue without access to water or light.
Miljkovic consented to the U.S. judge’s decision against him but has not yet appeared before a Bosnian court on the charges.
“This Administration has made it a priority to protect the sanctity of U.S. citizenship,” said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Civil Division.
“If an alien commits heinous acts and comes here to try to hide from the consequences, we will not permit it.”
