Findings on Nazi suspects receiving Social Security in Europe
AP investigation shows dozens of suspected Nazi war criminals and SS guards forced from the United States continued to collect millions in Social Security payments through a legal loophole. Since 1979 at least 38 of 66 have drawn benefits. four remain in Europe. The Justice Department opposed using benefits to push removals, while records reveal concerns by State Department and SSA about the Nazi hunting unit's methods. Attempts to close the loophole failed in 1999. only 10 were prosecuted.
