An angry Maurice Papon brought an end to the longest criminal trial in French history on Wednesday (1/4) by declaring his innocence of war crimes. Papon, who held the number two post in the Bordeaux prefecture
under the collaborationist Vichy government, is accused of complicity in the deportation of 1,500 Jews who ultimately went to their deaths in Nazi camps.

SOT (in English) with Serge Klarsfeld, father of Arno Klarsfeld (prosecution lawyer) and world famous Nazi hunter in his own right having captured Klaus Barbie, saying the key question from the trial is whether Papon and others were forced to act by the collaborationist Vichy regime against their will, or whether their actions were taken by choice.
