Poland hunts Jew, 86, over 'revenge' killing of Nazis
Poland is demanding the extradition from Israel of an elderly Jewish man accused of the deaths of hundreds of Germans in a post-war detention camp.
...
The Polish public prosecutor leading the case, Eva Kok, insisted that even though Mr Morel was a frail, elderly man, the claims could not be "swept under the carpet". She added: "The Israelis are extremely efficient in pursuing people they have accused of such crimes - and they must accept that other nations want to do the same."
Ms Kok insisted that suggestions that the case was politically motivated were an insult. "The prosecutors are not motivated by politics and operate in the interests of the law regardless of who is in power," she said.
