The Simon Wiesenthal Centre possesses information about 38 persons being suspected
in war crimes, but the General Office of Public Prosecutor
will examine information about 10 persons. According to the
press secretary of the General Office of Public Prosecutor,
Dzintra Subrovska, information about respective persons is
rather poor; in addition, the work is hindered by the fact
that many of those persons live abroad: USA, Canada, Sweden.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center has not paid out compensation
to people in Latvia, who have presented information about
persons, who might be participated in execution of Jews during
the World War II. Nevertheless, the Centre informs that it
will start paying compensations, as soon as official investigation
starts. (RB, TEL, VS, LR1).
