He was accused of war crimes in Italy, but Italian and German courts concluded that there was insufficient evidence to warrant prosecution.After his release from prison, Peiper worked for both Porsche and Volkswagen, before moving to France, where he translated books from English to German under the nom de plume Rainer Buschmann. Peiper was murdered in France in July 1976, when he was shot by unknown assailants who then burned his house to the ground using Molotov cocktails.
