Charles Zentai
Charles Zentai (born Károly Steiner; October 8, 1921 – December 13, 2017) was a Hungarian-born resident of Australia accused of a Holocaust-related war crime. He has lived in Perth, Australia for many years after living in the American- and French-occupied zones of post-World War II Germany. He was born in Budapest.
Zentai was on the Simon Wiesenthal Center's list of most wanted Nazi war criminals until 2013.[1][2] On 8 July 2005, Zentai was arrested by the Australian Federal Police to await an extradition hearing. Zentai's family say the 86-year-old widower, who has heart disease and peripheral neuropathy, would not survive the trip to Hungary.[3]
Zentai died in Perth on December 13, 2017 of heart disease and peripheral neuropathy at the age of 96.
