The US ouster of the RS Army: We are no refuge for criminals

According to the indictment filed at the West District of Virginia, Letic has hidden and presented false information during the US migration and naturalisation process. He had entered the country as a refugee, while he was actually actively involved in persecution and inhumane acts against civilians as officers in the Bosnian Serb army.

Letic is accused of getting two women out of a prison camp and then taking them to an apartment where he has sexually beaten and violated them. After being released from the camp, he found one of the women back on the street and forced her to go to an abandoned house where he again violated her. Also, Lettic has entered the homes of other civilians in Bosnia and has subjected them to severe physical violations, tortures and executions simulated.

The Justice Department suggests that Letic has concealed his involvement in these crimes throughout the migration process and receiving American citizenship. He has denied his criminal past and has hidden the penalties for corruption he had received in post-war Bosnia when working as a policeman.

Letic has become an American citizen on September 22nd 2006.

Under the U.S. Migration and Citizenship Law, a naturalised citizen could lose citizenship if it was illegally obtained either through fraud or hiding important facts.

The case has been investigated by the Civil Department's Migration Affairs Office, with the help of the FBI, national security investigators William Tomlyanovich, attaché John Christoforo of the Department for Migration and Customs, as well as the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Lawyer Christopher Loerla heads the legal issue while being monitored by Max Weintraub by the Migration Affairs Office and the Afirmative Affairs Unit. /Vijesti
