El archivo suizo del nazi Mengele: pistas que no llevan a nada y un supuesto espía israelí
Los documentos desclasificados sobre el ‘Ángel de la Muerte’ muestran el interés público por hallar al macabro criminal huido tras la II Guerra Mundial
On May 14, 1964, at 3:30 PM, Mr. Socker arrived at the Monte Rosa boarding school in Montreux, Switzerland, without prior appointment. He requested to be seen regarding an urgent matter. Described as a "sympathetic" individual of medium height, with black hair styled "in fashion" and possessing "excellent German," Socker claimed to be a 33-year-old student at the University of Jerusalem and a member of the World Jewish Congress.
However, when questioned about his background, he admitted to being part of the "Israeli secret service." His pursuit of Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele, whose nephew was studying at the Swiss boarding school, led to this incident.
The police report on Socker's attempt to gather clues about Mengele's whereabouts concluded with a section stating that he was a "fabricator," with no further details. Socker was subsequently warned by police not to investigate further in Montreux, as indicated in the documents forming part of a Swiss intelligence service file on Mengele that would not be released until 2071. Further details on this incident can be found in the archive.
