Prosecutor General announces trials against five more dead people

March 26, Pozirk. Belarusian Prosecutor General Andrej Švied says the recent conviction of the late Vladimir Katriuk was a “precedent that no other country in the world has.”
Last week, the Belarusian Supreme Court found Katriuk (1921–2015) guilty of genocide on March 18.
“We are forming the legal basis for future trials not only against the Great Patriotic War-era punishers but also against all fascists and Nazis who have committed or will commit crimes against humanity,” Švied said, according to a video released by his press office.
He announced sending the files of “at least five other punishers, including our collaborators” to court, but would not elaborate.
During WWII, Ukrainian-born Katriuk served with a Nazi SS battalion and was involved in war atrocities in Belarus, including the Chatyń massacre, The Guardian reported in 2015.
