British War Office document from 1946 listing the crimes of Ivo Rojnica, the Croatian war fugitive defended by Argentine Secretary of Culture Torcuato Di Tella in a letter to US Congressman Maurice Hinchey.

Di Tella presented himself as a 'non-Peronist academic and author' and as a member of the CEANA Commission of Enquiry into the Activities of Nazism in Argentina, which was created by his brother Guido while foreign minister during the administration of Carlos Menem. Hinchey signed his projected resolution in response to an appeal by the Wiesenthal Center, which in its turn was inspired by the noteworthy book The Real Odessa, Smuggling the Nazis to Peron's Argentina, by the journalist Uki Goņi.

Torcuato Di Tella attacks the Wiesenthal Center for having affirmed that his brother inspired the creation of CEANA 'to withhold access or raise hurdles for those trying to peruse such official papers, which according to some journalists had been on top duly sanitized prior to CEANA.'

What until there seemed to be a family matter, takes a decidedly more ominous turn when Di Tella asks: 'Is it not time for the Wiesenthal Center to provide convincing, if not convicting evidence on its long unsubstantiated accusation of war criminality against Juan (Ivo) Rojnica and Esperanza (Nada) Sakic, two cases that make a mockery of the just cause of hunting down Nazis and collaborationists responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity?' In his judgment these two cases 'make a mockery of the just cause of hunting down Nazis and collaborationists responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity.'

In April 1998, the television program Telenoche Investiga discovered Dinko Sakic, a 76-year-old Croat, in Santa Teresita, who confessed on camera that he had commanded the Jasenovac concentration camp installed by the fascist Ustasha regime, allied to the Nazis during the Second World War. ... According to various testimonies ... Nada was a guard or commander of the women's section of the camp. ... There she met and married Sakic. After the war they fled to Argentina. Because of the international clamour after their presence was revealed, the governments of both Croatia and Yugoslavia requested their extradition. Menem granted their extradition to Croatia. ...

During the investigation for his book, Uki Goņi found in the files of the British War Office a document (here reproduced) regarding the other person defended by Di Tella, Ivo Rojnica, arrested in 1946 when one of his victims recognised him on a street in Trieste as an SS and Gestapo collaborator who had arrested her husband and her father-in-law in the city of Dubrovnik and looted the family store. Both men were sent to a concentration camp, from which they did not return. According to the British document, Rojnica wore an SS uniform and his task was 'the purge of suspect elements and Jews.'

In 1947, the Yugoslav government requested the British for his arrest and mentioned the names of some 50 people who had been either arrested or tortured or sent to concentration camps in Croatia and Germany under orders from Rojnica. But Rojanica had already escaped to Buenos Aires, under the false identity of Ivan Rajcinovic.

Another document found by Goņi is an order signed by Rojnica in 1941 as military commander of Dubrovnik. It prohibits Serbs and Jews from walking the streets or opening their shops after 7pm. ...
