Four Bosnian Serbs Arrested in Chicago

The Serbs were arrested for concealing information that they were members of the Bosnian Serb army during genocide in Srebrenica.

Four Bosnian Serbs were arrested in Chicago for concealing information about their military participation during the genocide in Srebrenica in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1995, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of the United States reported.

Arrested were Dalibor Butina, 33, Radovan Jankovic, 61, Vlado Kecojevic, 53 and Branislav Cancar, 47.

They served in the Bosnian Serb army 

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested them on Tuesday, June 19, for concealing information that they had been members of the Bosnian Serb army, the ICE said in a statement, according to the Nezavisne novine daily.

Spokesman for the Bosnia-Herzegovina Prosecution, Boris Grubesic, could not say whether the four Serbs were under investigation, since information about persons who are not in Bosnia-Herzegovina are not divulged for understandable reasons.

Deportation 

The four arrested men did not state in their immigration documents that they had been members of the army that had been involved in the genocide against thousands of Bosnian Muslims in 1995, the ICE said.

After entry into the United States and after obtaining refugee status, all four men obtained a permanent resident permit. A deportation process has been launched and they should face a federal immigration judge who will make the final decision, the statement reads.
