Acquitted
Knighted

Elected Senator
Answer
Degrelle was sentenced to death in absentia by the Belgian government after World War II. He fled to Spain and lived there until his death in 1994, evading extradition attempts. Despite multiple requests for his extradition from the Belgian government, the Spanish government refused to hand him over. Degrelle's case became a symbol of the difficulties faced in bringing Nazi war criminals to justice after the war.
