U.S. deported to Germany, the former concentration camp guard.

The U.S. administration has gone to meet the authorities in Germany and has taken steps to deport a former concentration camp guard John Demyanyuka (John Demjanjuk). According to the Associated Press agency in the Immigration and Customs Police, the German side asked for the documents necessary for deportation. A warrant of arrest issued Demyanyuka in Germany in March.
88-year-old Demyanyuka living in a suburb of Cleveland, the German authorities were accused of war crimes. Presumably, he was in World War II served as a guard in the Sobibor death camp in Poland. As a consequence, there is irrefutable evidence of Demyanyuka, earning the nickname "Ivan the Terrible", in the killing of prisoners detained in the camp. In total, he accused 29 thousand episodes of complicity to murder. As the son of the suspect, John Demyanyuk, Jr., his father has not been arrested and is at home.
A native of Ukraine Ivan Demyanyuk moved to the USA in the 1950's and replaced the name to John, his involvement in the war crimes he denies. In 1977, Demyanyuka charged that he served as a guard at Treblinka death camp, and in 1986 was deported to Israel. An Israeli court sentenced him to death, but in 1993, the Superior bureau decided that sufficient evidence of guilt Demyanyuka not, and he was allowed to return to the United States.
In 2002, a federal judge in Cleveland denied Demyanyuka American citizenship, received a Ukrainian in 1958. According to the judge, the prosecuting authorities have proved that the alleged "Ivan the Terrible" for more than two years served the Nazi regime as a guard. In 2005, the chief American judge at the immigration cases decided that Demyanyuka can be deported to Germany, Poland or Ukraine. Demyanyuk tried to appeal that decision to the Supreme Court but his appeal rejected.
