BUDAPEST — Hungarian prosecutors on Wednesday detained a 97-year-old man accused of whipping Jewish prisoners in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II and helping to deport them to Auschwitz.
Nazi-hunters from the Simon Wiesenthal Center had named Laszlo Csatary, a Hungarian national, as their most wanted war crimes suspect.
Prosecutors in Budapest said he had hit Jewish prisoners with a dogs' whip when he was a police commander in the Nazi-occupied town of Kosice, which was then part of Hungary and is now in Slovakia. He has denied the accusations.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center says it provided Hungary with evidence that in 1944 Csatary helped to organize the deportation of around 16,000 Jews to the Auschwitz death camp from Kosice.
"Today the Budapest Prosecution Office has taken Laszlo Csatary into custody and has questioned him on suspicion of war crimes," prosecutor Tibor Ibolya told a news conference.
Ibolya said Csatary, who was in a good physical and mental condition for his age, was co-operating with investigators.
Prosecutors accuse Csatary of "war crime committed by unlawful torture of human beings", which carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Jesus, Simon and Elie's boys are still reeling them in. Old dude might die before they're done.

They don't need to do it legally. Back in the 60's they would just hunt them down, kidnap them, then torture them to death and leave their bodies to be found by local police.

It must suck so much to come from that era. Going from being a kick-ass nazi back in the day for the fuhrer to the new world, run by Jews, inhabited by negroes. Where has the golden age gone?

“One of his arguments in his defence is that he was obeying orders,” Mr Ibolya says, adding that during his testimony Csatary's "attitude toward some of his fellow men of a certain religion ... is not what we would consider normal."
"Mr Ibolya said that Csatary was still an anti-Semite"
so basically they have nothing to charge him with. The zionist jews just wanted him to publicly apologize before they secretly killed him in his sleep
