The vice president of Hungary's ultranationalist Jobbik Party filed a complaint with police against Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff for making "false statements." Novak Elod said he filed the complaint in connection with allegations that Zuroff made against war criminal Lazslo Csatary that were dismissed recently by Budapest prosecutors.

A Hungarian lawyer has urged authorities to charge Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff with making “false statements” against an alleged war criminal. Attorney Futo Barnabas said Zuroff, director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Israel, should be indicted for leveling false allegations against Laszlo Csatary, whom police arrested last month. Zuroff gave testimonies to Budapest prosecutors that Csatary had organized deportations of Hungarian Jews from Kosice in 1941 and 1944.

Another senior Nazi involved in the deportation of Jews to Auschwitz, and who is still alive, has been discovered. According to Nazi hunter Dr. Efraim Zuroff, head of the Jerusalem-based Wiesenthal Center, the fugitive is likely to be exposed very soon. Zuroff told Israel's Channel 2 in an interview on Sunday, “In two or three weeks, we will reveal this Nazi that we recently uncovered, who played an important role in the deportation of Jews to Auschwitz. His name has not yet been published, for fear that he will flee.”
