Ex-SS officer Degrelle lives for beauty under Spanish sun
In Spain, ex fascist leader Leon Degrelle, 77, enjoys a lavish life in Torreblanca and Madrid, using his Spanish citizenship to avoid extradition. He defends his actions, calls for freedom of expression, and remains connected to rightist circles while avoiding discussion of alleged Nazi affiliations and wartime crimes. The article notes Spain’s refuge role, recent extradition case of a Dutch German officer, and ongoing debates over justice and citizenship.
