Touvier, who was Lyon intelligence chief for the collaborationist Vichy regime in occupied France, was first arrested when the country was liberated in 1944 but escaped. He was later convicted twice in absentia and sentenced to death for executing and torturing members of the Resistance and persecuting Jews during the war.He managed to stay hidden until the sentences against him expired in 1967 under a 20-year statute of limitations. In 1971, President Georges Pompidou quietly pardoned Touvier, effectively canceling other penalties.But the outcry was so great that Touvier went back into hiding. And in 1981, he was charged with crimes against humanity, to which the statute of limitations does not apply in France. (English)
