FILE- In this May 22, 1990, file photo, Michael Karkoc is shown in Lauderdale, Minnesota. Germany’s highest criminal court has ruled that the country has jurisdiction over the case of the retired Minnesota carpenter revealed in an Associated Press investigation to be a former commander in a Nazi SS-led unit. The Federal Court of Justice ruled Thursday May 22, 2014 that 95-year-old Michael Karkoc’s service in the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion made him the “holder of a German office” even though he’s not German himself. Munich prosecutors now must examine the evidence and decide whether to file charges. (AP Photo/The St. Paul Pioneer Press, Chris Polydoroff, File)
