A CROATIAN actor has accepted substantial undisclosed libel damages over an article in a British newspaper that wrongly identified him as a Nazi war criminal.
Ljubomir Jurkovic brought an action in London's High Court over a November 2010 story in the Independent about the death of Samuel Kunz, who had served as a guard at the Belzec extermination camp.
It was accompanied by a photo of 52-year-old Jurkovic from the 2007 film The Living and the Dead, in which he played an officer of the Croatian Fascist movement, captioned: "A war-time image thought to show Samuel Kunz who was third on the Simon Wiesenthal Centre's list of most wanted Nazi war criminals".
Jurkovic's counsel, Christina Michalos, told Justice Victoria Sharp that the error had understandably caused him distress, humiliation and upset.
"I wish to make it expressly clear that the claimant has never committed war crimes, whether during World War II or during the Bosnian war, and has no connection of any kind with such activities and does not subscribe to any form of Nazi ideology."
Matthew Nicklin, counsel for Independent Print Limited, which is to pay substantial damages, apologised for the "extremely regrettable" mistake.
