London: Prosecutors in Hungary have charged 98-year-old Laszlo Csatary with participation in Nazi war crimes, a report said on Tuesday. Csatary is under arrest in Hungary, accused of assisting in the murder of 15,700 Jews during World War II. He denies the allegations, BBC reported. In 1944, Csatary was serving in the Nazi police in Kosice, now in Slovakia. The Simon Wiesenthal Center, based in Los Angeles and known for “Nazi-hunting”, said Csatary oversaw deportation of Jews to the Auschwitz death camp. The indictment accused Csatary of torturing and murdering Jews.
It said he was the chief of an internment camp for Jews in Kosice, and that he beat them with his bare hands and a dog whip. (IANS)
