German prosecutors in Munich formally charged John Demjanjuk with 27,900 counts of being an accessory to murder at a Nazi death camp during World War II, the Associated Press reports.

Demnjanjuk, 89, was deported from the United States in May after many years of legal wrangling. The court must now decide whether to accept the charges — usually a formality– and set a date for the trial. Court spokeswoman Margarete Noetzel says the trial is unlikely to start before the autumn, the AP reports.

Demjanjuk lawyer Guenther Maull had no immediate comment on the charges, saying he had not yet seen them.

Prosecutors accuse Demjanjuk of serving as a guard at the Sobibor camp in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1943. Demjanjuk, a native of Ukraine, says he was a Red Army soldier who spent the war as a prisoner of war and never hurt anyone.

Demjanjuk gained U.S. citizenship in 1958, but it was revoked in 1981 in ground that he had hid his past as a Nazi death camp guard.
