The FBI records regarding Klaus Barbie indicate that in 1983 he was expelled from Bolivia to France where he was under indictment for crimes allegedly committed during World War II while he was chief of the Gestapo in Lyon, France. The Criminal Division of the Department of Justice conducted an investigation into the relationship between Barbie and the U.S. Government following the end of World War II. The report concluded that the United States Government had no relationship of any kind with Mr. Barbie since he departed from Europe in 1951.
