Three years later, Kamba was found to be alive in Ruhr, Germany - with Bild reporting that he was working as a chemical technician at an energy supplier.
On Wednesday (17 November), Bild reported that the prosecutor in the case believes the plan was hatched by the pair and that originally, they attempted to take out an insurance plan worth £3.36million.
The report adds that Kamba's attorney said that he has never seen any money that was paid out.

"Kamba claims he was abandoned by friends overnight in Congo in January 2016 and left without documents, money and a cell phone," public prosecutor Anette Milk told the German newspaper.
When Kamba was pronounced dead in 2016, his ex-wife claimed a six-figure amount on his life insurance.
Kamba's former club, VfB Huls, issued an obituary for Kamba in 2016, stating: "He represented the ideas and values of our club like few others. His demise will leave a big gap. Hiannick is undoubtedly a bitter sporting loss for us, but primarily we will miss it as a fellow human being."
