Germany's government has "the utmost interest" in seeing that fugitive Nazi concentration camp doctor Aribet Heim, 91, face justice, an official said Monday. "You can imagine that, as far as all German authorities are concerned, there is the utmost interest in one of the last big notorious criminals possibly receiving his just punishment after all," German Interior Ministry spokesman Rainer Lingenthal said. But he declined to answer in detail when asked about German and Spanish efforts to track down Heim. "The investigation is a delicate matter and hopefully will be successful, and we must not disturb that further by giving out details of the investigation," Lingenthal said.
