Overview

  • Policía Nacional’s Organized Crime and International Delinquency unit tracked the suspect to a town in Mallorca and arrested him on 20 August.
  • At the time of the arrest, he presented Belgian identity papers and a driver’s license bearing another name, leading to an additional document-falsification charge.
  • Luxembourg authorities accuse him of insurance fraud by allegedly simulating work incapacity using false statements and fraudulent medical certificates.
  • Swiss investigators allege benefit claims through feigned incapacity, contracts signed without payment, false declarations to obtain health-profession permits, and a suspected case of medical negligence causing patient harm.
  • Local reporting estimates potential losses at about €90,000 in Luxembourg and around 1 million Swiss francs in Switzerland, figures that have not been independently confirmed.
