One of the witnesses in the trial of suspected war criminal John Demjanjuk is also suspected of murdering Jews, Der Spiegel reported Monday.

Alex Nagorny (93), a former Treblinka guard who testified at Demjanjuk’s trial, is suspected of being involved in shooting Jewish prisoners in a labor camp northeast of Warsaw.

The report said that after initial investigations into his case were completed, the German prosecution is considering whether to submit an indictment against him for war crimes.

A judge at the Nazi Crimes Office in Ludwigsburg in southeast Germany investigated his case for about six months. Other former guards investigated by the former Soviet Union claimed that Nagorny boasted he had shot Jewish prisoners. Similarly to Demjanjuk, it seems he underwent training at an SS camp at Trawniki, near the Polish town of Lublin.

The trial of “Ivan the Terrible”, who was a guard at the Sobibor death camp in Poland, opened in Munich in November 2009 and continues today. He is accused of aiding in the murder of 27,900 Jews in 1943 at the camp.

After the initial investigations were completed, the report on his case was transferred to the prosecutor’s office in Munich, which will decide whether to indict him.
