Overview
Paul Touvier, a former Vichy militiaman, sentenced to death in 1947 for war crimes, escaped justice thanks to the support of the Church and the statute of limitations in 1967. In 1973, he obtained a presidential pardon from Pompidou, but an investigation revived the prosecution for crimes against humanity, which were imprescriptible. Hunted, he was arrested in 1989 at the Saint-Joseph priory in Nice. His trial opened in March 1994, highlighting the role of the Militia, the armed wing of collaboration, and Vichy. Touvier is accused of complicity in crimes against humanity for the execution of seven Jews in retaliation for the assassination of a propagandist. His personal notebooks reveal his anti-Semitism. On April 20, 1994, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and died in 1997. This trial opened a reflection on the responsibility of the French State under the Occupation.
