Tomo Razmilovic (born 31 May 1942) is a businessman from the United States, formerly the chief executive officer of Long Island, New York-based Symbol Technologies. Currently, the United States Government considers him a fugitive, with the United States Postal Inspection Service offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction.[1]

Born in Split, Croatia, Razmilovic studied electrical engineering in his native country and later studied in Sweden. He obtained Swedish citizenship in 1971.[2]

Prior to his tenure as CEO of Symbol, Razmilovic had been Symbol's Senior Vice President of International Operations since 1989. Previously, he had been president of ICL Limited International, a British computer manufacturer, and president and CEO of Cominvest, a Swedish computer company.[2]

On 28 May 2004, an arrest warrant for Razmilovic was issued by the United States District Court in Brooklyn, New York. According to the United States Postal Inspection Service, he is wanted for "carrying out a securities-related accounting fraud scheme wherein the investing public lost more than $200 million." He fled to Sweden, citing "doubts" about the "American judicial system".[3] In 2008, Forbes Magazine named Razmilovic one of the "World's Most Wanted White-Collar Fugitives".[4]

In October 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission received a judgement against Razmilovic ordering him to disgorge $41.7 million in gains from the alleged fraud, plus $20.8 million in penalties and up to $27 million in back interest, in addition to barring Razmilovic from ever again serving as an officer of a public company.[3]
