A 98-year-old Hungarian who topped the dwindling list of surviving Nazi war crimes suspects has died in hospital while awaiting trial for allegedly sending 12,000 Jews to the death camps. Laszlo Csatari ‘died on Saturday morning.
He had been treated for medical issues for some time but contracted pneumonia, from which he died,’ his lawyer Gabor Horvath told AFP on Monday.
Csatari was alleged to have been a senior police officer actively involved in the deportations from the Jewish ghetto in Kassa, now known as Kosice in present-day Slovakia, during World War II.
