JERUSALEM \u2014 A leading Nazi hunter said on Monday that Adolf Eichmann\u2019s top lieutenant, long one of the world\u2019s most wanted fugitives, died at least four years ago in Syria, where he had escaped justice and may have advised the government.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Efraim Zuroff, director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center\u2019s Israel office, said the lieutenant, Alois Brunner, was responsible for the deportation of 128,500 Jews to death camps, and described him as Eichmann\u2019s \u201cright-hand man.\u201d Eichmann, one of the chief architects of the Holocaust, was apprehended, tried and executed by Israel in 1962.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Brunner was tried in absentia and sentenced to death by France in 1954, and he had been the subject of at least two assassination attempts attributed to the Mossad, the Israeli secret service.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a notorious anti-Semite, sadist, fanatic Nazi,\u201d Mr. Zuroff said in a telephone interview on Monday, after the British newspaper The Sunday Express reported his confirmation of Mr. Brunner\u2019s death. \u201cThe only known interview we have with him was to a German newsmagazine in 1985, in which he was asked if he had any regrets, and he said, \u2018My only regret is I didn\u2019t murder more Jews.\u2019 \u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Zuroff said a German intelligence official with extensive experience in the Middle East \u2014 \u201ca reliable source in our eyes\u201d \u2014 had informed the Wiesenthal Center about four years ago that Mr. Brunner had died of natural causes, but that because of the Syrian civil war \u201cwe were never able to confirm it forensically.\u201d Given that Mr. Brunner would be 102 today, Mr. Zuroff added, \u201cI took his name off the list\u201d of wanted Nazis.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wiesenthal Center did not announce Mr. Brunner\u2019s death when the German operative reported it in 2010, or this year, when it published its annual list of fugitives without him on it. Mr. Zuroff said it came up now only because of an inquiry by The Sunday Express.<\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Austria, Mr. Brunner joined the Nazi Party in 1931 and the SS in 1938, and he led the Vienna-based Central Office for Jewish Emigration from 1939 to 1943, according to the research center at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum and memorial in Jerusalem.<\/span><\/p>\n
