Hungarian Laszlo Csatary, charged with Nazi-era war crimes, dies at 98
Laszlo Csatary, a former police officer indicted in June by Hungarian authorities for abusing Jews and contributing to their deportation to Nazi death camps during World War II, has died aged 98. Csatary, who had denied the charges, died Saturday of pneumonia in a Budapest hospital, his lawyer said. Csatary was sentenced to death in absentia in Czechoslovakia in 1948 for similar war crimes. He lived for decades in Canada before leaving in 1997 after it was discovered that he had lied about his past to obtain citizenship.
