{{A 98-year-old Nazi war crimes suspect, Hungarian Laszlo Csatary, has died while awaiting trial, his lawyer said.}}<\/p>\n
Csatary died in a Hungarian hospital after suffering from a number of medical problems, Gabor Horvath said.<\/p>\n
He at one time topped the list of most wanted Nazi war crimes suspects and is alleged to have helped deport 15,700 Jews to death camps in World War II.<\/p>\n
He faced charges relating to his wartime activities in both Hungary and in neighbouring Slovakia.<\/p>\n
Mr Horvath said his client died on Saturday morning. “He had been treated for medical issues for some time but contracted pneumonia, from which he died.”<\/p>\n
Csatary had denied the allegations against him, saying he was merely an intermediary between Hungarian and German officials and was not involved in war crimes.<\/p>\n

\nHe was charged in June by Hungarian prosecutors in relation to what they said had been his role as chief of an internment camp for Jews in Kosice, a town then part of Hungary but now in Slovakia.<\/p>\n
Kosice, known at the time as Kassa, was the first to be established after Germany occupied Hungary in March 1944.<\/p>\n
