John Demjanjuk was found guilty Thursday of involvement in the murder of tens of thousands of Jews by a court in Germany, capping a 30-year international legal saga over whether he was a Nazi camp guard during World War II.
He was sentenced to five years in prison, the court told CNN.
German prosecutors accused the 91-year-old former Ohio auto worker of being a guard at the notorious Nazi death camp of Sobibor in Poland. He was charged with being an accessory to about 27,900 murders.
Prosecutors had asked for a sentence of six years in what is likely the last major Nazi war crimes trial in Germany.
