The United States deported the 95-year-old German man last month, but prosecutors in Germany have not found sufficient evidence to prosecute him.
German prosecutors said that they closed an investigation of a 95- year-old former concentration camp guard who was deported from the United States.
Last month, Friedrich Karl B. arrived on a medical transport plane at Frankfurt Airport after a US court ordered his expulsion over alleged compliance with National Socialist-sponsored persecution in 1945.
Upon his arrival, prosecutors in the northern town of Celle said he was willing to be questioned with a defense lawyer present. They had previously halted a probe of the same man citing a lack of evidence.
Why is Germany dropping the probe? Prosecutors said they closed the case against Friedrich again "after exhausting all evidence," citing a lack of sufficient grounds for suspicion.
Celle's public prosecutors had begun the investigation in September but suspended it three months later, saying the evidence had "not linked the man to a concrete act of killing."
According to US officials, Friedrich had confessed to having guarded prisoners for a period spanning just a few weeks late in the war at the Neuengamme concentration camp in northern Germany.....

This has to mean times are changing and Germans are getting sick of the holyhocks. The US's response will be pigheaded and hateful -- Demjanjuk died in Germany and this poor guy prolly will to.
Last 'Nazi' ever sent to the gas chamber?

They've already ruined what's left of this old man's life.
Fedgov will spend a fortune deporting a harmless old white nonagenarian, but not 50 cents to deport 50 million illegal Aztec rapists.

Sorry if that sounds sexual, but it fits.

The fedgov has had at least TWO 'Nazi-hunting' agencies and no communist-hunting ones. Well well, "Justice Department Censors Nazi- Hunting History"

"Nazi-hunting (and Nazi-protecting)" -- is that like invade the world/invite the world?
