Otto Hostettler is an investigative reporter for the Swiss magazine BEOBACHTER. He stumbled over the Lockerbie case while investigating the unexplained crash of Swissair Flight 330 which exploded shortly after take-off from Zürich on 21 February 1970, killing all 47 passengers and crew.
According to his research, the perpetrators of that crime have been known for more than four decades. And yet, they never had to stand on trial. (One of them was a prime suspect in the early stage of the Lockerbie investigation.) He is currently fighting to obtain the right to access some documents through the FOIA. So far, his demands have been rejected.[1]
