Swiss man faked blindness for a decade to collect 600,000 euros
Original: Il fait croire qu’il est aveugle durant dix ans et touche 600 000 euros d'aides sociales : le Suisse est démasqué au vol
A Swiss man pretended to be blind for ten years and collected around 600,000 euros in social benefits before being caught. He was unmasked while driving his car and steering his boat, exposing the fraud. The case is drawing attention as an example of large-scale benefit fraud and the lengths scammers will go to, as well as questions about how the deception went undetected for so long.
Why now: The audacity and scale of the decade-long fraud, and the dramatic way he was caught behind the wheel, are making it widely shared news.
