Nazi
tested in Austria for trial competency
July 19, 2008 6:02 AM
VIENNA, Austria-Austrian authorities have ordered a new round of medical
and psychiatric tests to determine whether a suspected Nazi is healthy
enough to be extradited to Croatia to stand trial for alleged atrocities.
The public prosecutor's office in the southern Austrian province of
Carinthia said Saturday it hopes a fresh evaluation of 95-year-old Milivoj
Asner will lay to rest doubts about his fitness.
The Croatian-born retired police chief caused a stir last month when
he was seen watching a soccer match in the city of Klagenfurt. Critics
contend Austria is sheltering Asner from Croatia, which wants to try him
for World War II-era atrocities against Serbs, Jews and Gypsies.
Austrian authorities have said Asner suffers from dementia.
