For More Than Five Decades, A 70-Year-Old Italian Faked Total Blindness To Receive Disability Pension

An unusual case attracted attention in Italy. A 70-year-old man, a resident of the city of Vicenza, is accused of faking total blindness for over half a century to receive disability benefits.

Over 53 years, he illegally obtained more than € 1 million in social payments.

Investigation and Video Evidence

The farce began to crumble when the financial police of Vicenza conducted data cross-checks that raised suspicions. From that point, officers decided to follow the suspect and caught him engaging in activities inconsistent with his supposed condition.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office of Vicenza indicted the accused for fraud against the Italian state. Based on the gathered evidence, the authorities immediately suspended all social and pension benefits he was receiving.

The investigation also led to a tax audit, which determined taxation on over € 200,000 in illicit revenues from the last five years—the maximum period during which charging was still legally possible. The case reignited debates about the effectiveness of verification mechanisms for disability benefits in Italy.
