Brazilian police confirmed Friday it was looking for fugitive Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner after receiving an Interpol tip that he was hiding in the northeastern city of Salvador. “An international search request already existed for this person, but yesterday (Thursday) we received information that he could be in Brazil,” a federal police spokesman told AFP.(...) The Austrian-born former SS chief is responsible for sending tens of thousands of European Jews to death camps and would be in his early 90s today if still alive. According to Haaretz, Brazilian police sources said Brunner has been living in Brazil since 1999.
