In general? So a cartel member who is ordered to murder someone and does, shouldn't be charged with anything?

80 years after the deed it becomes a tad rediciulous. Especially when all the higher ups have been identified, and not prosecuted, during these 80 years.

There is no statute of limitations on murder lol

A number of high-ranking members were convicted shortly after WWII in the so-called Nuremberg trials (as they took place in the German city of Nuremberg). Here is the introductory paragraph from Wikipedia:

"The Nuremberg trials (German: Nürnberger Prozesse) were a series of military tribunals held following World War II by the Allied forces under international law and the laws of war. The trials were most notable for the prosecution of prominent members of the political, military, judicial, and economic leadership of Nazi Germany, who planned, carried out, or otherwise participated in the Holocaust and other war crimes.", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_trials

Why not both?

I agree, it seems silly to me, to be prosecuting a guard after all these years, if anything I hope he will get a chance to apologize, and then live the rest of his life full of remorse.
