The public prosecutor in Baden-Baden, Bavaria formally opened proceedings Thursday against a fugitive Nazi war criminal whose whereabouts have been unknown since he disappeared 17 years ago to avoid arrest. The defendant. Dr, Aribert Heim, “is accused of the murder of an unknown number of Jewish concentration camp inmates of Mouthausen,” Chief Prosecutor Hehling Von Lanzenauer said Thursday. He said “their death followed injections” allegedly administered by Heim. Heim vanished in 1962 and there has been no trace of him or any “hat lead” Von Lanzenauer said at a press conference.
