Mengele Reportedly Seen in Paraguay
The Sunday Times of London reported that fugitive Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele is living fairly openly in Paraguay, dividing “his time between a jungle hotel and a heavily guarded log cabin at a military base.”
The newspaper said its information came from Domingo Laino, a leading Paraguayan political exile currently living in Argentina and from a senior diplomat at the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires.
Mengele, now 73, was last spotted in Paraguay eight months ago, the newspaper said. He is accused of conducting hideous medical experiments on inmates at the Nazis’ Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II, killing thousands of men, women and children. He was called the “Angel Of Death” by inmates.
