A NAZI war criminal exposed by The Sun is to escape justice after Austrian officials refused to deport him to face trial.
Croatian police chief Milivoj Asner signed orders for the deportation of Jews, gipsies and Serbs to death camps in the town where he lived in World War Two.

After the war, Asner fled and went into hiding. The Sun tracked the 96-year-old to a flat in Klagenfurt, Austria, where he was living under a false name.

His lawyers insisted he suffered dementia and was too ill to face trial.

A face-to-face interview with The Sun showed that he was lucid and defiant. But justice officials in Austria last night insisted he is unfit to stand trial.

Holocaust campaigner Dr Efraim Zuroff said: “His tranquil life in Klagenfurt, protected by the Austrian legal system, is an insult to victims.”
