BERLIN (AP) - German authorities say a 90-year-old former member of the Nazi's SS has been charged with 58 counts of murder for the 1945 killings of Jewish forced laborers in Austria.
The Duisburg state court said Tuesday that state prosecutors had charged the suspect with the killings of the Jewish laborers near Deutsch-Schuetzen on March 30, 1945.
The suspect lives today in Duisburg but was not identified by the court.
The court says it has two weeks to decide whether the evidence presented supports the charges enough to bring the case to trial. The charges carry a possible sentence of life in prison.
