The last Nazi war crimes suspect facing deportation from the US was taken from his home in New York City and returned to Germany on Tuesday, the White House said.

The deportation of the 95-year-old former concentration camp guard, Jakiw Palij, comes 25 years after investigators first confronted him about his past and he admitted lying to get into the US - claiming he spent the Second World War as a farmer and factory worker.

Palij lived quietly in the US for years, as a draughtsman and then as a pensioner, until nearly 30 years ago, when investigators found his name on an old Nazi roster and a fellow former guard spilled the secret that he was "living somewhere in America".
