Laszlo Csatary: Simon Wiesenthal

BUDAPEST, Hungary Dept: BUDAPEST, Hungary - Hungarian officials have launched an investigation to determine if a convicted war criminal who may also have been a Canadian citizen has been living clandestinely in the capital for years, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The centre has told prosecutors that a Budapest resident named Laszlo Csatary is believed to be the former police chief in the Slovak city of Kosice in 1941, who played a "key role" in sending more than 300 Jews to their deaths in Ukraine and the outside view of the apartment building which is supposed to be the last known location of Hungarian Nazi WWII crime suspect Laszlo Csatary in Budapest, Hungary, Monday, July 16, 2012. The Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Centre's Efraim Zuroff last week submitted new evidence to the prosecutor in Budapest regarding crimes committed during World War II by its No 1 Most Wanted suspect Laszlo Csatary, who is accused of complicity in the deaths of 15,700 Jews.
