Nazi Decoys Slain At Petiot Trial In Paris
In Paris on March 20 the prosecutor conceded that at least three of the 27 slayings charged against Dr Marcel Petiot were of Gestapo agents. The testimony followed assertions by Patlot about executions carried out by members of a supposed resistance group. The third day focused on whether Jews among the victims were Gestapo decoys and covered 15 Jews who allegedly received payment to be smuggled from Nazi-occupied France. Petiot denied killing named individuals and claimed a Jewish woman working for the Gestapo used refugees’ papers to have them arrested. He recounted pursuing her and catching 24 accomplices among a larger group he says were executed or disappeared. A case involving Madame Marthe Khali, who vanished after planning a visit to Pellot, was also discussed.
