A German doctor convicted in Chile for his role in the sexual abuse of children at a secretive Nazi paedophile sect must serve a five-year jail sentence in his home country, a court has ruled.
Hartmut Hopp, 76, was the right-hand man of former Nazi soldier and convicted paedophile Paul Schaefer, who ran the Colonia Dignidad commune in southern Chile from 1961.
Hopp was convicted and sentenced to five years in jail by a Chilean court in 2011 for 16 counts of aiding in the sexual abuse of children.
He fled to Germany before the verdict took legal effect.

Colonia Dignidad: Chile's colony of crime
It was called Colonia Dignidad, but dignity was nowhere to be found in this isolated settlement in Chile. Now called Villa Baviera, the "Bavarian" village wants to attract tourists on the former torture site.

(160,527 posts)He always did seem to have a super vicious quality about him.
Two of his big deals sons of Nazi monsters. That is so easy to accept. He probably adored their sinister auras.
And he still can creep us out from the Great Beyond:
(Looks as if dead Pinochet's adherent has worn the heck out of his Captain American suit, doesn't it?)
He still has nutball worshipers in Chile, and, as we have heard, here, too.
