The FBI is looking for a Russian-American man who yelled that he “wanted” to “slaughter” Jews after he failed to report to prison for assaulting a man he thought was Jewish.
Izmir Ali Koch, 34, was sentenced in July to two-and-a-half years behind bars for assaulting the man outside the Mirage Mediterranean Restaurant in Cincinnati on Feb. 4, 2017.
However, U.S. District Judge Susan Dlott permitted Koch, who was convicted of a federal hate crime and lying to the FBI about his role in the attack, to surrender himself the following month at a West Virginia federal prison by Aug. 16.
On that February day, Koch stepped outside with a group of friends and yelled that he hated Jews, “wanted slaughter them” and asked “Who is a Jew?”
