Nazi war criminal involved in arms smuggling

Zagreb (dpa) - A convicted Croatian Nazi war criminal was allegedly involved
in illegal arms smuggling between Argentina and Croatia, the Croatian Globus
weekly reported Wednesday.

Dinko Sakic, former commander of the World War II Jasenovac concentration
camp, was sentenced in 1998 to twenty years in prison.

Globus said it was in possession of documents that linked Sakic to some of
the top Argentinian officials, who illegally exported arms to Croatia
between 1991 and 1995 when a United Nations arms embargo was in effect
against the country and other follow-up states of the former Yugoslavia.

Sakic was hiding in Argentina since 1945. He was extradited to Croatia in
1998 where he was tried in connection with his role in the concentration
camp.

Jasenovac, one of the worst concentration camps in former Yugoslavia,
claimed the lives of tens of thousands of Croatian Serbs, Jews, Romas and
Croat anti-fascists. Sakic was only 24 at the time.

The camp was set up by the Ustashe, forces of the Nazi puppet state that
ruled Croatia during the war, and was liberated in the spring of 1945, by
Marshall Tito's partisans.
