German prosecutors said Tuesday they had dropped their probe against a former doctor in the "Colonia Dignidad" Nazi paedophile sect that was based in a remote compound in Chile.

Hartmut Hopp, 74, was a physician in the notorious group that abused members – adults and children – and was used to torture and "disappear" regime critics during the 1973-1990 dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

Prosecutors in the city of Krefeld said that "after exhausting all promising investigative leads, it was not possible to substantiate a sufficient suspicion under any legal aspect necessary for an indictment".

No charges for Colonia Dignidad doctor

Prosecutors in Germany say they have dropped their investigation into Hartmut Hopp, who worked as a doctor in a notorious commune in southern Chile.

Hopp was the right-hand man of Paul Schäfer, a former Nazi soldier who founded Colonia Dignidad in 1961.

A court in Chile found Hopp guilty of complicity in child sex abuse committed by Schäfer but the doctor fled to Germany before he could be jailed.
