Canadian court: Ukrainian aided Nazis

Kisluk is the third suspected Nazi collaborator found to have entered Canada after World War II through deceitful means since the country's Justice Department stepped up its campaign against suspected Nazi war criminals in 1995.

The case relied upon evidence from historians and witnesses in Ukraine, where court representatives traveled last year.

The judge in the case characterized Kisluk's testimony as unreliable and contradictory.

Although no appeal is possible, Kisluk's lawyer could launch a constitutional challenge, which he did in a previous case. That involved Vladimir Katriuk, another Ukrainian national who was also found to be a Nazi collaborator who entered Canada by concealing the truth about his wartime past.

In the last three years, the Canadian government has initiated proceedings against 15 Nazi war crimes suspects.

Three suspects have died, two have left the country voluntarily and two more have been permitted to stay.

Other cases are slated to get under way soon.
