(Jewish Group) Man who said he would 'slaughter' Jews wanted by FBI after not reporting to prison
A man who has dual Russian and American citizenship is wanted by the FBI after he didn't show up at a prison to begin serving his sentence for attacking a man he believed was Jewish.
Izmir Ali Koch, 34, was sentenced in July for beating the man outside the Mirage Mediterranean Restaurant in Symmes Township. But U.S. District Judge Susan Dlott allowed Koch, who was convicted of a federal hate crime charge, to self-surrender a month later at a federal prison in West Virginia.
On the designated date, Aug. 16, Koch didn't show up to begin serving his 2½-year sentence.
The FBI says Koch has ties to Rostov, Russia and frequently travels to Istanbul, Turkey. He was living in Huber Heights at the time of the 2017 attack. The Uzbekistan native has also lived in Dayton as well as Krasnodar, Russia, according to the FBI.
