JERUSALEM -- Gabriel Bach, a prosecutor in the 1961 trial of notorious Nazi Adolf Eichmann who went on to serve on Israel's Supreme Court, has died. He was 94.
The Israel Judiciary Authority on Friday announced his passing. It did not provide a cause of death.
Bach served as a state's attorney during Eichmann's high profile trial in Jerusalem and worked on evidence-gathering in the case under lead prosecutor Gideon Hausner.
Eichmann, one of Nazi Germany’s main organizers of the Holocaust, was captured by Israeli Mossad agents outside Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1960. He was put on trial in Jerusalem in 1961 and found guilty of crimes against humanity, crimes against the Jewish people and war crimes. He was executed in 1962.
