Pieter Menten

Pieter Nicolaas Menten was a Dutch war criminal, businessman, and art collector. Menten was a Nazi collaborator who committed numerous crimes, including murder, on behalf of the regime.

After World War II, he was only found guilty of working as an interpreter and served just eight months in prison.

Menten lived lavishly in the Netherlands for over 25 years, often storing and selling stolen artwork, before the new evidence was used to re-try him, and he was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

He was released in 1985 due to old age and good behavior, and he died in 1987.
