The West German Government is awaiting results of an investigation by the state prosecutor into the wartime Nazi career of Friedrich Karl Vialon before deciding on whether any disciplinary action should be taken, Jergen Wischnewski, Minister of Economic Aid, said today.
He made the statement in a Parliamentary reply to a question as to whether the Government planned any action against the former State Secretary of the Ministry for his Nazi career. Vialon has been accused of perjury and complicity in the wartime murder of Jews in Baltic countries.
Vialon was suspended from his post after the new coalition Government of Christian Democrats and Social Democrats, headed by Kurt Kiesinger as Chancellor, took office.
