 | | After being indicted, Touvier disappeared again but through his lawyers, years of legal maneuvering ensued until finally a warrant was issued for his arrest on November 27, 1981. | | | His 1995 appeal was rejected by the Court. | | | Following this, attorneys for Touvier filed an application for a pardon asking for the lifting of the life-time ban on leaving the country and the confiscation of goods linked to his death penalty. |

| | The Trial of Klaus Barbie: Touvier, Papon, and Beyond |
| | In the 1992 trial, Touvier was accused of hurling grenades into a synagogue but, as in the previous cases, there were conflicting accounts by eyewitnesses and the case was therefore thrown out. | | | For the fourth time in four decades, Paul Touvier had escaped justice by the grace of the French legal system which found it either too difficult or too painful to try him, let alone convict him. | | | Throughout the entire four decades that Touvier escaped French justice, he was being sheltered by the Church. |

| | In Touvier's case, the members of the Parisian Court believed that the only crime that might fall under these guidelines was the murder of the seven Jews at Rillieux, but that was a war crime that fell under the statute of limitations. | | | This particular body shocked observers when it dismissed the criminal and civil cases against Touvier, reasoning that 11 of the 12 criminal counts against him were not supported by either the law or the facts in the case. | | | For example, the Touvier cases, with the constant clash of opinion on the part of the Parisian and Versailles courts, show the fragile and contingent nature of both the prosecutorial and defense positions. |

| | There are lots of good legal arguments that Papon's case does not fit neatly into the definition of crimes against humanity articulated by the French Supreme Court in the Touvier and Barbie cases. | | | Thirteen years later, a French court will finally determine whether there is sufficient evidence against Papon to warrant his trial. | | | But all those legal gymnastics in the world cannot obliterate the fact that Papon's signature on those arrest orders made him just as guilty as the policemen who carried them out. |

| | Touvier was finally brought to justice in 1989 by a persevering judge and imprisoned for crimes against humanity. | | | The movie, however, which was directed by the classically liberal Norman Jewison ("In the Heat of the Night," "The Hurricane"), is a standard chase thriller, with precious little political subtlety and few pauses for introspection. | | | Though Touvier was tried in absentia and sentenced to death for treason and collusion with the enemy, he was protected by a cabal of right-wing Catholic priests, and even given sanctuary in monasteries. |
