Not in Germany. There is no law in Germany that would automatically nullify the copyright on works of a criminal.
Actually, the state of Bavaria still uses its claim to the copyright of Hitler's "Mein Kampf" to block re-publishing of that work. I'm not entirely sure if that claim is solid, but so far it works for them.
Well, technically they claim ownership of the copyright as the heir because when he wrote the book he was in Bavarian prison.
