Berlin - Berlin officials are expecting the United States to expel war-crimes suspect John Demjanjuk, 88, on Monday next week to face possible trial in Germany for assisting in at least 29,000 Nazi death-camp murders.

Ulrich Staudigl, a spokesman for the Justice Ministry in Berlin, said Thursday, "The way things are looking now, I can confirm that Demjanjuk will probably arrive in Munich on Monday."

Munich, Germany  - US authorities are to extradite Ukrainian- born John Demjanjuk to Germany next week to answer charges that he helped put at least 29,000 Jews to death at a Nazi death camp, a German newspaper said Wednesday.

Demjanjuk would arrive on Monday in Munich, where a warrant was issued three weeks ago for his arrest, the newspaper Abendzeitung said, quoting the accused's German lawyer, Guenther Maull.

A German Justice Ministry spokeswoman in Berlin said, "We can neither confirm nor deny this."
