Loganville Man Faces Immigration Charges, Accused of Human Rights Violations
The man is accused of entering the U.S. under false pretenses by failing to disclose his work as a Serbian concentration camp guard. He is accused of abuse of Muslims and Catholics in concentration camps.
U.S. Attorney Sally Qullian Yates announced that Mladen Mitrovic, 52, of Loganville, Ga., was arraigned Monday in federal court on charges that he falsely obtained his naturalized citizenship. He allegedly failed to disclose his work as a Serbian concentration camp guard.
“The Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Unit of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues to work with officials from Bosnia and Herzegovina to locate concentration camp guards who emigrated under false pretenses to the United States after the Bosnian War,” Yates said in a press release. “This defendant will now have to face many of the former Bosnian Muslim prisoners who suffered at his hand in the Trnopolje Concentration Camp.”
Officials said the case against Mitrovic originated from a tip from Homeland Security Investigators.
