CLEVELAND - The U.S. government says it has contacted the German government to get travel documents needed to complete his deportation of John Demjanjuk.
The 88-year-old suburban Cleveland man is charged in Germany with 29,000 counts of acting as an accessory to murder while working as a guard at a Nazi death camp in occupied Poland during the Second World War.
His son, John Demjanjuk Jr., says his father remains at home and is not in federal custody.
He says his father is in poor health and is unable to travel.
A German warrant seeks the deportation or extradition of Demjanjuk, who denies involvement in any deaths.
Prosecutors in Munich, Germany, say Demjanjuk will be formally charged in front of a judge once he is extradited.
"In this capacity, he participated in the accessory to murder of at least 29,000 people of the Jewish faith," said the Munich prosecutor's office, which is handling the case because Demjanjuk spent time at a refugee camp in the area after the war
