Location of war criminal no secret

GERMANY’S BND intelligence agency knew as early as 1952 that Adolf Eichmann was hiding in Buenos Aires, a report said.

The report in Germany’s Bild newspaper on Saturday comes after the US released files in 2006 showing the CIA told the BND in 1958 that the Nazi leader who orchestrated the Holocaust “is reported to have lived in Argentina” since 1952.

Bild said it obtained a BND file from 1952 that indicated the agency believed he was in Argentina. The BND did not return calls seeking comment.
