Activities

On 14 December 2010, Marty published a report for adoption by the Council of Europe alleging inhuman treatment of people and killing of prisoners with the purpose of removal and illicit trafficking in human organs in Kosovo, involving Hashim Thaçi, the Kosovo prime minister and former Kosovo Liberation Army political leader.

Alleged false flag assassination plot

In December 2020, Marty was placed under very high police protection for nearly a year-and-a-half, after death threats. According to Dick Marty, "the threat apparently comes from certain circles of the Serbian intelligence services who have asked the underworld, professional killers, to liquidate me simply to shift the blame on the Kosovars", underworld figures and veterans who have long been carrying out such missions for the Serbian secret services and who were trained by them and would master the assassination "without leaving a trace". For the planned attack, it was believed a Serb had smuggled weapons into Switzerland during the month of December 2020. In order to take advantage of the press attention related to the indictment of Hashim Thaci, the murder was going be presented as being attributable to the Kosovo-Albanian government (the former KLA) in order to discredit him at the international level.^{[Maybe.This doesn't sound like the full story]}
