The director of the Simon Wiesentahl centre in Jerusalem, Ephraim Zuroff, has
condemned the Prosecutor's Office of Latvia, as searching
of Karlis Brazuss, who is accused in execution of Jews, has
ended unsuccessfully. The Prosecutor's Office found information
of some resident of Bauska concerning Brazuss as untruthful.
During the investigation, it was found out that Brazuss was
baking bread during the wartime, and not executing Jews.
In addition, relatives of Brazuss, who died seven years ago
in Canada, are indignant about those accusations. (LTV1)
