Suspected Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk is likely to arrive in Germany on Monday to face charges of complicity in the murder of 29,000 Jews despite a last ditch effort to block his extradition, his German lawyer said.

"If nothing else happens between now and then that's how it will be," Munich-based lawyer Guenther Maull said yesterday.

A petition filed by Demjanjuk on Wednesday to prevent his deportation from the United States was unlikely to change this.
