Charles Zentai, born 1922 in Hungary, is accused of a Holocaust-related war crime. Zentai has been resident in Perth, Australia for many years. The Hungarian government is seeking to extradite him from Australia to stand trial for the murder of Peter Balazs, an 18-year old Jewish man, in November 1944. The extradition case is before the Australian Federal Court.

Zentai, who denies all charges against him, was serving in the Hungarian Army at the time. It is alleged that he was one of three Hungarian soldiers who killed Balazs in Budapest by beating him to death, and then threw his body into the Danube River. It is claimed they attacked Balazs because he wasn't wearing a yellow star.
