The detective's videos proved that his story as an "apathetic, isolated, and incapable of work" was not true and hi was very integrated and active.
Detectives also proved that he had traveled several times with expensive cars in Kosovo, where he worked in construction work at his home, had spent holidays in Turkey and Egypt.
And because of the investigation, the Swiss authorities in 2011 decided to end the pension.
