"98-year-old German man faces murder charges for Nazi concentration camp involvement"

A 98-year-old German man has been charged as an accessory to murder for his alleged role as a guard at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp during the Nazi era. Prosecutors accuse him of supporting the killing of thousands of prisoners. The man faces more than 3,300 counts of being an accessory to murder, and if the case goes to trial, he will be tried under juvenile law due to his age at the time of the alleged crimes. German prosecutors have pursued similar cases in recent years, allowing for prosecution without direct evidence of participation in specific killings.
