Just this week, when the hearing of evidence was almost finished, Boere was accused by the ancillary suit for seven more murders.
Before he joined the ‘Silbertanne’ death squad Boere worked as a spy for the German occupying forces and is said to have denunciated several Dutch escape agents for Resistance members. Seven of those people later died in German concentration camps.
Trial will be continued on February 4.
Today 88-year-old Heinrich Boere was sentenced to life imprisonment, of course his attorneys appealed on points of law. Since there’s no danger of flight Boere remains free for now.
The chief judge mentioned he has his doubts about the former SS member Boere ever to end up in jail since revision might go up to the European Court of Justice and this could take years.

Holland did try Heinrich Boere after the war and he was first sentenced to death but later commuted to life, he escaped from Breda prison.He remained a single man all his life as he expected to be caught anytime.
