Rudolf Seck, former Gestpo sergeant who was charged with mistreating and killing Jews imprisoned in the labor camp he commanded near Riga during the war, was sentenced by a denazification court here to ten years imprisonment. The prosecution revealed later that Seck would also stand trial in a criminal court.

Dietrich Klagges, former premier of the province of Brunswick, was sentenced to six years imprisonment by a denazification court in Bielfeld on charges that he was aware of the Nazis’ persecution of the Jews and because of his membership in the Gestapo.
