The property of a former Vichy France official jailed for war crimes must be sold off to pay the legal fees of Jewish victims seeking damages from him. A judge ruled that Maurice Papon fraudulently claimed bankruptcy in order to stop the lawsuits against him. Papon, 91, was found guilty of helping deport some 1,500 Jews to Nazi death camps during World War II.
