The Attorney General in Linz, Austria, is preparing to bring to trial former SS leaders accused of murder in the notorious Mauthausen concentration camps during World War II and is also preparing cases against SS men active in the Gusen area.

The prosecution will attempt to prove that Gogle acted on his own initiative and was not obeying orders.
