- 101-year-old Josef Schuetz found guilty of being accessory to murder in at least 3,500 cases.
- He worked as a prison guard at Nazi concentration camp Sachsenhausen between 1942 and 1945.
- More than 200,000 people, including Jews, Roma, regime opponents and gay people, were detained there.
A German court sentenced a 101-year-old former Nazi concentration camp guard to five years in prison on Tuesday, making him the oldest person ever tried for complicity in war crimes during the Holocaust.
Between 1942 and 1945, Josef Schuetz was found guilty of being an accessory to murder in at least 3,500 cases while working as a prison guard at the Sachsenhausen camp in Oranienburg, north of Berlin.
He is highly unlikely to be put behind bars given his age.
