    If it's a matter of equality before the law, the asnwer is very simple: the Luthuanian authorities are profoundly biased in favour of Lithuanian war criminals who fought with the Germans or under German command, including those who actively participated in the Holocaust. I believe only a handful of them have been put on trial. In the light of established Lithuanian complicity in the Holocaust, that number is absurdly low. This is why the U.S. Justice is actively pursuing some of these cases; the Lithuanian authorities wouldn't do it themselves. Arad was a witness is several cases brought by the Americans. That is why he is particularly hated by the Lithuanian right.
