Hungarian Nazi War Crimes Suspect Csatary Held

Hungarian Nazi war crimes suspect Laszlo Csatary, 97, number one on the Simon Wiesenthal Center's wanted list, has been taken into custody and charged, Budapest prosecutors said Tuesday.
Csatary, accused by the Wiesenthal Center of having helped organize the deportation of some 15,700 Jews to the Auschwitz death camp during World War II, "has been taken into custody," the public prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
They added that Csatary, full name Laszlo Csizsik-Csatary, a former senior police officer in Kosice, which at that time was in Hungary but is now in Slovakia, "has been charged with committing war crimes."
In 1948, a Czechoslovakian court condemned Csatary, who the Wiesenthal Center said was in charge of the Jewish ghetto in Kosice, to death in absentia.
But he had made it to Canada, where he worked as an art dealer in Montreal and Toronto until in the 1990s he was stripped of his citizenship there and was forced to flee.
He ended up in Budapest where he has lived undisturbed ever since until the Wiesenthal Center alerted Hungarian authorities last year, providing it with evidence it said implicated Csatary in war crimes.
British tabloid The Sun raised publicity of his case in a report at the weekend after tracking down the old man, photographing him and confronting him at his front door.

Those f..ing jews. How about the crimes against the palestinians and other people committed by the Israelis. Oh, I forgot, they don't abide by the international laws. It is for the other subhuman standard species according to their religion.

Jcamerican, you are out of line!! Israeli atrocities and crimes against the Palestinians is one thing, and Judaism and Jews in general is another. Just like not every Muslim is Ossama bin laden. Your slander against Jews in general is unacceptable. you need to take it back.. and Naharnet should never have published your post unedited.

Guys, I think that you miss some information. The guy did not follow orders, he was a chief policeman at the distribution camp of Kosice. There he personally have desided who to send to the concentration camp of Auschwitz to work an who to kill in the camp. Probably you do not know, that in that time it was prohibited to use weapons for killing jews, as the weapons were saved for the fronts, therefore all the sentenced for killing were killed by mattocks, spades,rods, bolts or shovels.
The guy is not an innocent old man. He is a servant of the devil and has to be judged and inprisoned. Just for your information, Bulgaria was the only country at that time who saved his jews. The orthodox chirch stand for their save and the Bulgarian King Boris the 3rd declined the order of deportment of jews to Germany.
