    Since Laszlo Csatary was originally found guilty and sentenced to death in 1948 presumably this will likely not be carried out as Czechoslovakia no longer exists and capital punishment was abolished in Hungary in October 1990. I guess his legal defence team will argue that the communist regime in post-war Czechoslovakia (assuming he was convicted after Feb. 1948) fabricated all of the evidence against him etc. etc.

    All good points. I hadnt thought about that angle. You are no doubt correct.

    It is interesting to note that today he is reported as a "Nazi War Crimes Suspect" yet in 1948 he was sentenced as a convicted War Criminal as if the intervening years since evading justice and the death penalty have somehow washed away his crimes and the guilty verdict.

    Hell, 6 months will probably be a life sentence for him.

    No trial will take place as Csatary has just died in hospital.
