An Amsterdam court sentenced Otto Rebholz, onetime Dutch banker and now a German citizen, to five years’ imprisonment upon his conviction in absentia of charges of collaborating with the Nazi occupation forces through the manipulation of Dutch Jewish assets amounting to millions of guilders.
The court deducted from the sentence three years which Rebholz had spent in detention before his trial. The ex-banker a fugitive from Holland is currently living in Lichtenstein.
