98-year-old former Nazi camp guard charged with murder and being an accessory to murder
A 98-year-old German man has been charged with being an accessory to murder for his alleged role as a guard at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp during World War II. The man, whose identity was not disclosed, is accused of supporting the killing of thousands of prisoners. He faces more than 3,300 counts of being an accessory to murder and 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 specific killings.
