"A hospital employee in Italy has been accused of skipping work on full pay for 15 years, local media report.

The man is alleged to have stopped turning up to work at the Ciaccio hospital in the southern city of Catanzaro in 2005.

He is now being investigated for fraud, extortion and abuse of office, Italian news agency Ansa reports.

He was reportedly paid €538,000 (£464,000) in total over the years he is thought not to have been working.

Six managers at the hospital are also being investigated in connection with the alleged absenteeism.

The arrests are the result of a lengthy police investigation into absenteeism and suspected fraud in the Italian public sector.

The employee was a civil servant, and was assigned to a job in the hospital in 2005. It was at this point he stopped going into work, the police said.

The police have also accused him of threatening his manager to stop her from filing a disciplinary report against him.

That manager later retired, police added, and his ongoing absence was never noticed by her successor or human resources."



I wonder if he is related to GMiscer?

LMAO, this hospital is about 45min from my dads hometown, and a few of my cousins live in Catanzaro. I've been there multiple times and usually go there at least once to see them when I go to Italy.

It also doesn't surprise me it happened in Calabria, place is like USA's Alabama or Mississippi.

Mirin Italian bro, if the company kept paying him while he wasn't there, why should he be in trouble? Wish I was so invaluable at work to where no one asks why im not there and just keep getting paid.

Lold.

Office spaced a phone that was messing up recently. My brother in law heard me complaining about it. Walked up to him with a bat and asked him to come to the front yard with me, he was like we gonna office space your phone?

[F.A.P.]

Gotta respect that hustle. And lol at the person that narced on him after all those years. They're fish food by now.

My aunts nephew was gunned down on the beach right by our beach house down there. Right in front of a TON of people in the middle of the day.

He was with his wife and two daughters and two guys pulled up in their car with masks on, got out and just unloaded into him right in front of everyone and ran back to their car and took off.

All Mafia related.

Well somebody at HR needs to be held to account.. how can they continue paying him with no communication to his management for 15 years.. Sounds like this is tip of the iceberg for the Italian public sector, if one guy has been found out and the police are doing an extensive investigation into the whole sector then you can be sure that there are more lol.

Jesus wtf? Sorry to hear that

It's such a great place though when we are there we go into the mountains to collect water, apparently you can't drink from the faucets there, but the mountain water is perfect so I'm happy that way.

Only thing is they got some huge scary looking spiders that I can't stand.

This is standard practice in Mexico, we call them "aviators", but same concept, government officials will hire random family members who dont actually work there to steal their salaries

[Brahzymandias]

Getting paid to do nothing and not showing up? Sounds like any other European employee of any kind. What’s the big deal?

Saw an article on that incident on ********, that listed similar cases found in recent months.
- One guy, who went on a holiday with his buddies and had his wife, who worked in the same building, check his card in every day.
- Another guy was caught checking in to work in his bathing suit, then obviously went to the beach instead.

names milton and hes a special guy. the company is doing lay offs and hes up but they dont tell him. they just stop paying him and relocating him further and further outside the office cuz these things figure themselves out.

At least they were COVID safe


I’ve heard of stories on huge construction jobs where people will just show up for orientation, get onto payroll, walk around the site with a 2x4 on their shoulder, and get paid for all of it
