Italian hospital employee earned £465k despite not turning up to work for over 15 years

Italy’s financial police said the man allegedly had someone threaten a hospital superior in 2005 to keep him on the payroll.

Authorities have placed six hospital employees in Italy under investigation for abuse of office after they allegedly allowed a 67-year-old to draw more than 500,000 euros in salary over 15 years without ever working.

The prime suspect is also under investigation for alleged fraud and aggravated extortion.

Italy’s financial police said in a statement that he allegedly had someone threaten a hospital superior in 2005 to keep him on the payroll.

Subsequent superiors then failed to take action or sanction him even after launching an internal investigation.

Police say the suspect was officially hired in 2005 in the fire safety department of the Pugliese-Ciaccio public hospital in Catanzaro and earned 538,000 euros (£465,000) in salary over the following 15 years.

They say they cross-referenced work schedules, mobile phone records and evidence from fellow hospital workers to determine he never worked.

Accused along with the prime suspect are six other hospital workers and administrators.

Two of them were part of a commission of inquiry launched by the hospital that, despite what the police said was ample evidence, determined the suspect could not be disciplined.

He was eventually officially fired in October.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
