Nazi Collaborator Living In Costa Rica
Continued From Page 1
Koziy had owned the
Flying Cloud Motel in
Fort Lauderdale,
Florida, which he repor-
tedly sold.
In the report in The
Ukrainian Weekly,
Ramirez failed to men-
tion any American fin-
dings against Koziy —
his age has been report-
ed as both 64 and 67 —
who was stripped of his
U S. citizenship in Mar-
ch 1982 for having lied
about his wartime ac-
tivities when he entered
the U.S. in 1949. He
became a naturalized
U.S. citizen in 1956.
tven more startling
about the Costa Rican
move to grant Koziy
temporary residence are
previous moves by the
Costa Rican gover-
nment itself to deport
him. In August 1986,
Costan Rican Deputy
Interior Minister Alvara
Ramos announced that
the government was
seeking a court order to
expel Koziy.
Then, in March of this
year, Koziy was ordered
extradited to the Soviet
Union by the Costa
Rican Superior Penal
Tribunal of Alajuela. At
that time, the public
prosecutor of San Jose
said that the court's ex-
tradition -uling could
not be appealed
In 1979, the U.S.
Justice Department's
Office of Special In-
vestigations (OSI) had
filed a complaint
seeking Koziy's denat-
uralization, which was
followed by the 1982
trial in Federal District
Court in West Palm
Beach, Florida.
Former OSI director
Allan Ryan Jr., in his
book "Quiet Neigh-
bors," described Koziy
as a member of the
Ukrainian police
auxiliary in Stanislau
that operated under
German direction
during the war. His
identity and occupation
were corroborated by
German insurance
documents found.
At his trial, the OSI

presented, on vid-
eotape, several So-
viet and Polish wit-
nesses who testified
that they had known
Koziy. They described
his role in the killing of
Stanislau's Jews, par-
ticularly his singling out
of Jewish children as
victims. Their descrip-
tions were graphic and
horrifying.
Fli Rosenbaum, who
was a prosecutor for the
OSI during Koziy's trial
in Florida, said, "What is
doubly offensive is not
only that the Costa
Rican government is
not extraditing him to
stand trial in the Soviet
Union, as its own courts
have authorized, but
they are not even
moving to expel him
from Costa Rica. Now
the Interior Minister in-
tercedes after all these
proceedings and sub-
stitutes his own
judgment that there is
insufficient evidence.
That's utterly fantastic.
What more would he
like to see?"
Ruben Robles, Minis-
terial Consul of the
Costa Rican Embassy in
Washington, told JTA
that Ramirez granted
the temporary visa
because the extradition
order is still in process
of execution. "Ex-
tradition proceedings
were started in the cour-
ts. Until final court
notification regarding
his extradition is taken,
he (Koziy) may remain."
In 1982, West Ger-
many refused to
acquiesce to a Justice
Department request to
extradite Koziy from the
U.S. and prosecute him
despite conclusive
evidence that Koziy had
killed a four-year-old
Jewish girl.

president of the World

nesses described her
crying, "Mother, he's
going to shoot me," and
"I want to live." Koziy
took out his pistol; her
mother turned her head.
In July 1982, the OSI
wrote to the West Ger-
man Ministry of Justice,
suggesting that Koziy
be extradited for "per-
sonally and single-
handedly" murdering
the girl "by shooting her
at point-blank range."
In the same letter, the
OSI refers to Koziy ac-
tively participating in
the murders of mem-
bers of another Jewish
family.
The West German
Foreign Office declined
the American request in
a diplomatic note to the
American Embassy in
Bonn on March 28,
1983. The note, refusing
"to initiate extradition
proceedings in this
case," nevertheless
conceded "There is no
doubt as to Koziy's par-
ticipation in the two
aforementioned shoot-
ing incidents."
The West German
government described
the crimes as "man-
slaughter" rather than
"murder" because the
killings could not
demonstrate "cruely,
iniquity, lust for murder,
and base motives."
