SYDNEY, Australia (JTA) – An alleged Nazi war criminal jailed in Australia while awaiting extradition to Hungary was granted bail.

A Federal Court judge granted bail Wednesday to Charles (Karoly) Zentai, 88, who had been in a Perth prison since October after losing numerous appeals to avoid becoming the first person Australia has extradited in connection with Nazi war crimes.

Zentai is accused of killing 18-year-old Peter Balasz in Hungary in 1944 because he was not wearing the mandatory yellow Star of David.

He has vehemently denied the charges, claiming since he was arrested by Australian Federal Police in 2005 that he had left Budapest the day before the alleged murder.

Zentai’s son, Ernie Steiner, told reporters after Wednesday's ruling that "Christmas without him would just be something terrible I think, and for him to be alone inside a prison would have been even worse.”

Lawyers for Zentai, who was living in Australia, are appealing the decision by the government to surrender him to Hungarian authorities.

I think it is disgusting that the Jews are still going after the so called "Nazis" 64 years after the war ended. The world has moved on but the Jews haven't. They are completely stuck in the past. I think the Jews just have a inferiority disorder or some thing.

I think it is disgusting that the Jews are still going after the so called "Nazis" 64 years after the war ended. They're not even that.
They've long since run out of real Nazis.
All they've got left are old men who were once nothing more than lowly teenage conscripts from occupied territories.

They're not even that.

I wonder who they will go after once the "Nazis" have died off.

Alleged Nazi Zentai appeals extradition

SYDNEY, Australia (JTA) – An alleged Nazi war criminal living in Australia has appealed to the Human Rights Commission in a bid to avoid extradition to his native Hungary.

The lawyer for Charles (Karoly) Zentai this week asked commission President Catherine Branson to intervene, the Australian Associated Press reported Tuesday, on the grounds that there was no guarantee that Hungary could ensure a fair trial, especially in the absence of witnesses.

Zentai, 88, of Perth, is facing allegations in Hungary that he helped murder Jewish teenager Peter Balasz in Budapest in November 1944.

Zentai has vehemently denied the claim since he was first arrested by Australian Federal Police in 2005 after a Simon Wiesenthal Center investigation helped flushed out information on his whereabouts.

The Human Rights Commission cannot supersede the legal processes of Zentai’s extradition but could help Zentai pay for his legal fight against extradition.

Zentai's appeal is scheduled to begin March 31 in Perth Federal Court.
