A Russian court rejected the claim of the family of Raoul Wallenberg to the FSB
Petty-bourgeois court of Moscow dismissed the claim filed to the Russian Federal security service, relatives of the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, who was arrested in 1945 in the Soviet Union and died in mysterious circumstances. The court fully dismissed the claim of the niece of the diplomat who saved the lives of thousands of Jews during the Holocaust.
In the lawsuit, the niece of diplomat who during the Holocaust saved the lives of thousands of Jews, demanded to let her see the documents, clarifying his fate. However, the court sided with the FSB and rejected the claim in full.
“Was interesting as an expert”
According to the Agency RIA Novosti, the representative of the FSB told the court that service cannot be considered a successor to the KGB, as it formally established on the basis of counterintelligence. “Nothing, the FSB has to the events of 1945. We just stored these documents,” he said.
According to the Agency, Wallenberg was arrested as “the head of the Hungarian residency” foreign Minister of Nazi Germany Joachim von Ribbentrop and supposedly “died a natural death during transportation from the place of imprisonment in the Krasnogorsk camp.”
