Israeli Coroner Still Unsure on Mengele
An Israeli coroner investigating whether the remains found in Brazil two years ago were those of Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele was quoted Tuesday as saying he is still unsure about the evidence.
Tel Aviv morgue director Maurice Rogev told the newspaper O Estado de Sao Paulo that although the work of Brazilian forensic experts was first-class, “there is still some information that must be clarified before any official statement can be made.” He did not elaborate.
Brazilian police last year published a 1,000-page dossier with pictures concluding that Mengele died in a swimming accident near Sao Paulo in 1979.
