Man acquitted of war crimes in Australian trial
A 76 year old immigrant, Ivan Polyukhovich, was acquitted by a South Australian Supreme Court jury after a nine week trial. He faced charges of aiding German troops in mass executions of Jews near Serniki in 1942 and the murder of two Jewish children and a woman. The case hinged on testimonies from Jews and Ukrainians, with Polyukhovich not testifying. The verdict ends a costly prosecution under the 1986 war crimes law, while another man awaits trial in June for related crimes in Ukraine.
