German prosecutors investigate 105-year-old over Nazi camp crimes
German prosecutors are investigating a 105-year-old man suspected of being an accessory to murder while serving as a guard at a Nazi prisoner of war camp.
German prosecutors have opened an investigation into a 105-year-old man over allegations of aiding and abetting murder at a Nazi prisoner of war camp during World War II.
Public prosecutor Sonja Frodermann confirmed that authorities in Dortmund are reviewing the suspect's activities while serving as a guard at Stalag 326 VI K, situated in Senne in northwestern Germany. Frodermann noted that a similar case involving another former guard from the same camp had also been under way. German legal precedent allows prosecutors to charge former camp personnel with accessory to murder without requiring proof of involvement in specific killings.
