Spanish Civil War was over by 1939 but his presumably left wing father returns to Nazi occupied Belgium in 1943?

 

[vivienbee]

I can see Kim Burke's soul leaving her body.

 

[Passingthru]

Is anyone having trouble following this cockamamie story?

 

[MrsEmmaPeel]

Illegitimate. He has no idea who his father was.

This got my attention also.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

How rude! I told you before.

 

[vivienbee]

This is like the start of an X Factor audition.

 

[Passingthru]

I don’t think he remembers because I don’t think he ever cared for any of these people.

 

[caitlincurious]

The man probably wanted to know if his brother was still alive so he could impersonate him

 

[poppypopcorn]

To be fair (and playing devil's advocate) if he is claiming that he was raised by his aunt and uncle, he probably considers his cousins to be brothers.

I can hear French, Dutch and Australian in this guy's accent easily. I bet he speaks multiple languages.

 

[Belleandsebastian]

So he was supposedly visiting family in Belgium during the 1990s, but according to him he hasn’t spoken to his brother in 30 years and seems like the others might have been dead then too.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Forging ?

 

[Passingthru]

The man probably wanted to know if his brother was still alive so he could impersonate him

Or if he had any money coming to him.

 

[poppypopcorn]

Bollocks did all European homes have tapestry on the wall in the 1950s.

1590s maybe.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

That is my thought too.

Or if he had any money coming to him.

 

[Behrnsy]

So he was supposedly visiting family in Belgium during the 1990s, but according to him he hasn’t spoken to his brother in 30 years and seems like the others might have been dead then too.

And they funded his life style, purchased cars for his kids.
How did he ask for money if they didn't talk to him or potentially dead

 

[vivienbee]

He seems to have very clear recollections at the moment so if things start to disintegrate as the questioning progresses it's going to be hard to swing.

 

[SamintheSak]

Pre-Columbian Civilisation?!

Reunited with mother (yesterday aunty) who had legs blown off?

 

[caitlincurious]

He seems to have very clear recollections at the moment so if things start to disintegrate as the questioning progresses it's going to be hard to swing.

He's a good liar, that's all.
