Former officer with East Germany’s secret police sentenced to prison for a border killing in 1974
An 80-year-old former officer with communist East Germany’s secret police, the Stasi, was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison for the murder of a Polish man at a border crossing in divided Berlin 50 years ago. The Berlin state court said in its ruling that there was no doubt that the then-first lieutenant shot the 38-year-old Polish citizen Czes?aw Kukuczka in an ambush on March 29, 1974 on behalf of the East German secret police, German news agency dpa reported. “It was not the act of an individual for personal reasons, but planned and mercilessly executed by the Stasi,” presiding judge Bernd Miczajka said in his sentencing remarks.
