JAKARTA (JP): Indonesian immigration authorities have deported
an American citizen who has been on the United States wanted list
for a major fraud case since March 1993.

James William Miller, 54, was picked up from his hotel room at
the Kumbokarno Hotel in Yogyakarta last Wednesday after the
immigration authority in Jakarta received a tip of his presence.

Miller surrendered without putting up a significant fight and
was put on an Intercontinent flight bound from Guam on Friday
night, according to a statement by the Directorate General of
Immigration received on Saturday.

He was tightly guarded by both officers from the directorate
general as well as from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI), according to the statement.

The directorate general said that according to the information
received from the U.S. authorities, Miller's arrest warrant was
issued by a U.S. court in March 1993 and the authorities also
invalidated his passport last September. (emb)
