The author studies the bicanonical map of a complex 2-ball quotient, a smooth compact complex surface of the form \(M=B^2_{\mathbb C}/\Pi\) where \(B^2_{\mathbb C}=\{(z_1,z_2)\in {\mathbb C}^2 | |z_i|^2+|z_2|^2<1\}\) is the open complex ball of dimension \(2\) and \(\Pi\) is a cocompact torsion free lattice in \(PU(2,1)\). This included the \textit{fake projective planes}, the 50 pairs of conjugated complex manifolds with the same Betti numbers of the complex projective plane not isomorphic to it, classified by \textit{D. I. Cartwright} and \textit{T. Steger} [C. R., Math., Acad. Sci. Paris 348, No. 1--2, 11--13 (2010; Zbl 1180.14039)]. Among the fake projective planes, four pairs are said to be \textit{of minimal type}, as the latice involved is not contained properly as a sub-lattice in another lattice of \(PU(2,1)\). The author claims to have proven the following: Theorem. The bicanonical line bundle \(2K_M\) is very ample for any smooth compact complex 2-ball quotient \(M\) with \(c_2(M)=3\), a part from fake projective planes of minimal type. Unfortunately, the proof is not correct. Several gaps in the proof have been pointed out by \textit{F. Catanese} and \textit{Y. Keum} in the last section of their paper [``The bicanonical map of fake projective planes with an automorphism'', Int. Math. Res. Not. (to appear), \url{doi:10.1093/imrn/rny214 }].
