Nazi hunter slams right-wing singer at Croatia celebration
The Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Center has strongly criticized a far-right singer's participation in the celebration welcoming Croatia's national soccer team home from the World Cup.
The center issued a statement on Wednesday that described Marko Perkovic—who goes by the stage name Thompson—as a "notorious" sympathizer of Croatia's World War II pro-Nazi regime whose songs have advocated killing minority Serbs.
The statement says Perkovic's prominent appearance at the festivities "gives his fascist views a legitimacy they do not deserve."
