   Boban Never Gave Up Hope

    Mile Boban says he never gave up hope during the past year that he would be found not guilty of charges that he plotted bombings, murders and extortion against fellow Croatians living in America.
   “I was shocked, I couldn’t believe my own ears when I heard the forman say not guilty,” he recalled. “My attorney turned toward me, kissed me, started crying and said, “Thanks to God, you are a freeman.”
    “It was very difficult not to give up hope,” said Boban, interviewed in his Hillsborough home. “In my country they say that two men without soul tell lies, so a third man will be without a head,” he said, sliding his finger across his throat for emphasis. “Basically, the rial was a gossip, words against. They didn’t have any physical evidence against.”
    The not-guilty verdict was returned by a federal jury in New York after a three-month trial. Boban was tried along with nine (the tenth was Drago Sudar from Toronto, Canada, mo. Mile Boban.) other Croatians accused of being responsible for two murders, (Tony Cikoja from New York killed August 1978. and Krizan Brkic from Los Angeles killed 22 November 1978., mo. Mile Boban.) four unsuccessful murders, more than 50 acts of extortions, three cases of arson, four arson plots and interstates transportation of explosive.
    Boban maintains that the Yugoslavian secret police are behind allegations. Boban, who is North American president of the Croatian National Resistance, was found not guilty along with three other defendants. (Ivan Misetic from Chicago, Andjeljko Jakić from New York, Miro Biosic from Los Angeles and Mile Boban from San Francisco, mo. Mile Boban.) The Resistance Movement supports Croatia’s independence from Yugoslavia.
    Boban said he is not bitter about his ordeal, despite the fact that he is “broke”, after spending over $200,000 in legal fees. “I never was angry,” he said. “Somehow I had confidence in myself and I didn’t take the trial seriously.
    “Financially, we are completely broke, but in spirit we are very strong,” he said. “Why? Because the innocent ruling from the US Court gave us that strength. Now it’s only matter of time before we resume our routine with family and business.
    Boban, 42, said his building contract business was doing well prior to his arrest last summer, and that he is fortunate because he will not have to declare bankruptcy.
    The trial, while tough on the family budget, also was difficult on the nerves. Boban, the father of six children, said that his sons were too young to understand.
    His daughters, however, received notes from some of their friend saying they could no longer remain friends.
    There were many friends and neighbors who stood by the Bobans. “Most trusted us,” said Boban. “They gave us courage and helped the 10-month agony. I appreciate them and will never orget them. In hard times, you find out who your friends are.”
    With the nightmare behind him, Boban says he will resume his goal of preserving Croatian history and teaching the younger generation about their ancestors.
    He also looks forward to using his “rusty tools” by starting his business again from scratch. “It is time to forget what happened and close the book of the past,” he said.
    “IT’S TIME NOW TO OPEN THE BOOK OF THE FUTURE,” said Boban.

NOĆNA MORA JE PROŠLA – Mile Boban iz Hillsborough-a, njegova supruga Annie i sin Mile mogu sada nastaviti svoj obiteljski život u Hillsborough-u, sad kada je Mile Boban oslobođen svih optužbi za terorizam protiv sunarodnika Hrvata koji žive u Americi.

Boban Je Uvijek Imao Nadu
Napisala Sherry Posnick
Mile Boban kaže da se tijekom prošle godine nikada nije odricao nade da će biti proglašen nevinim zbog optužbi da je kovao urote bombaških napada, ubojstva i novčane iznude nad Hrvatima koji žive u Americi.
“Bio sam šokiran, nisam mogao vjerovati vlastitim ušima kad sam čuo kako forman kaže da nije kriv”, prisjetio se. “Moj se odvjetnik okrenuo prema meni, poljubio me, počeo plakati i rekao:” Hvala Bogu, ti si slobodan čovjek. “
“Bilo je vrlo teško ne odustati od nade”, rekao je Boban, intervjuiran u njegovoj kući u Hillsboroughu. “U mojoj zemlji kažu: dvojica bez duše, treći bez glave”, rekao je pokazujući prstom preko grla kako bi dao naglasak ovoj izreki. “U osnovi ovaj sud je bio trač, to su bile riječi protiv riječi. Nisu imali nikakve fizičke dokaze protiv nas.

“Pravomoćnu presudu da nisam kriv donijela je savezna porota u New Yorku nakon tromjesečnog suđenja. Bobanu je suđeno zajedno s još devet Hrvata optuženih (deseti je bio Drago Sudar iz Toronta, mo. Mile Boban.) da je odgovoran za dva ubojstva, (Tony Cikoja iz  New York-a  ubijen u kolovozu 1978. Kad smo kod Cikoje potrebno je podsjetiti da je Arena br. 930 od 18 listopada 1978. st. 27 donijela opširan članak o ubojstvu Tonija Cikoje kojeg je pisao i potpisao S. PERKOVIĆ. Prilažem sliku novine Arena gdje možete vidjeti drugi red, treći paragraf stavio sam X kako bi se vidjelo gdje piše slijedeće: “Njegov dom je za naše iseljenike u Americi u pravom smislu riječi bio Jugoslavija u malom. I zato svi koji su ga poznavali i voljeli s pravom pitaju kako je moguće da zločinci pred očima američke policije ubijaju nedužna čovjeka na gangsterski način”?

image.pngMeni je žao svaku žrtvu a posebno nevinu žrtvu. Kako je ovo dio hrvatske iseljeničke političke povijesti, i kako je državni odvjetnik Stuart Baskin ovo ubojstvo stavio i na moju optužnicu kao jednu krivičnu točku, potrebno je reći riječ/dvije o tome. 
Ja sam u petak 18, subota 19 i nedjelja 20 kolovoza 1978. god. otišao posjetiti kuma Miljenka Dabu Peranić u New York. Kako je tih dana poginuo Tony Cikoja, i kako sam ja tada bio Pročelnik Otpora za Sjevernu Ameriku, Stuart Baskin je moj put kumu Peraniću iskoristio i povezao kao za pripremu tog gnjusnog zločina. Ovo je potrebno zapisati da se zna da je jugoslavenski konzulat u Njujorku platio prijevoz pok. Ante Cikoja do njegova mjesta Vrgorac. Potrebno je reći i to da je jedan Hrvat, stavit ću samo inicijale ZB. r. 1937. ubijen u Fontainebleau, Francuska, kojem je također jugoslavenska Ambasada u Parizu platila prijevoz od mjesta ubojstva do njegova sela i groblja gdje je bio zakopan. Poznato je da je Udba likvidirala stotinjak Hrvata u hrvatskoj političkoj emigraciji i koliko je meni poznato niti jednom od ovih ubijenih Hrvata nije platila put nego ovoj dvojici. Ovo sam stavio kao povijesni dio a i na razmišljanje onima koji se budu bavili opisivanjem djelatnosti hrvatske političke emigracije. Mile Boban, Otporaš.) Križan Brkić iz Los Angeles-a ubijen 22 studenog 1978., mo. Mile Boban.) četiri neuspješna ubojstva, više od 50 ucijenjivačkih djela, tri slučaja požara, četiri slučaja podmetanja požara i prijevoz eksploziva između američkih država.
Boban tvrdi da iza tih navoda stoji jugoslavenska tajna policija. Boban, koji je za Sjevernu Ameriku predsjednik Hrvatskog Nacionalnog Otpora, proglašen je nedužnim zajedno s još trojicom optuženika. Pokret Otpora podupire nezavisnost Hrvatske od Jugoslavije.
Boban je rekao da nije ogorčen ni na koga zbog nanešenih muka, unatoč činjenici da je “novčano uništen”, nakon što je potrošio više od 200.000 američkih dolara pravnih troškova. “Nikad se nisam ljutio”, rekao je. “Nekako sam imao povjerenja sam u sebe i nisam suđenje shvatio ozbiljno.
“Financijski smo potpuno slomljen i uništen, ali u duhu smo vrlo jak”, rekao je Boban. “Zašto? Jer nedužna presuda američkog suda dala nam je tu snagu. Sad je samo pitanje vremena kada ćemo nastaviti svoju rutinu s obitelji i s poslom.
Boban (42) je rekao da mu je građevinski posao išao vrlo dobro prije uhićenja prošlog ljeta te da je sretan jer neće morati proglasiti stečaj.
Suđenje, iako teško za obiteljski budžet, također je teško palo i na naše živce. Boban, otac šestero djece, rekao je da su njegovi sinovi premladi da bi sve to mogli razumjeti.
Međutim, njegove su kćeri od nekih svojih prijateljica dobile pismo u kojima su pisale da više ne mogu biti naše prijateljice.
Bilo je mnogo prijatelja i susjeda koji su stajali uz nas Bobane. “Većina nam je vjerovala”, rekao je Boban. “Dali su nam hrabrosti i pomogli našu desetomjesečnu agoniju. Cijenim ih i nikada im neću zaboraviti. U teškim vremenima saznate tko su vam prijatelji.
“Budući da je noćna mora iza njega, Boban kaže da će nastaviti svoj cilj očuvanja hrvatske povijesti i podučavanja mlađe generacije o njihovim precima.
On se također raduje što će ubrzo moći koristiti svoj “zahrđalih alat” počevši sve iz početka. “Vrijeme je da zaboravimo što se dogodilo i zatvorimo knjigu prošlosti”, rekao je.

“VRIJEME JE ZA OTVORITI KNJIGU BUDUĆNOSTI”, rekao je Boban.
