Dinko Šakić
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dinko Šakić was a Croat who was one of the leaders of the army of the fascist Independent State of Croatia (NDH) during World War II.
He commanded the Jasenovac concentration camp at one time. After the defeat of the Axis forces, he emigrated to Argentina.
Having been tracked down by the Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff, the District Attorney in Zagreb brought charges against Šakić for war crimes during WWII when he was the chief of the Jasenovac concentration camp, on 20 April 1998.
He was extradited from Argentina, judged and found guilty by a Croatian court and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
His wife, Nada, is the sister of Maks Luburić, making Luburić Dinko Šakić's brother-in-law.
