Case of ex-Nazi death squad member back in federal cabinet’s hands
OTTAWA — A long-running legal case about whether former Nazi death squad member Helmut Oberlander will be stripped of his citizenship is back in the hands of the federal cabinet.
The Supreme Court of Canada said Thursday it will not hear the federal government’s challenge of a setback in its latest bid to revoke Oberlander’s citizenship.
As usual, the Supreme Court did not provide any reasons for its decision.
The office of Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould had no immediate comment, while representatives of the Jewish community and Holocaust survivors renewed their calls for justice.
