A man who worked as a safety officer at a hospital in Italy has been charged for multiple crimes stemming from his collecting $648,000 in salary over 15 years despite allegedly never going to work.
Italian news agency Ansa reported that Salvatore Scumace, 66, is under investigation “for fraud, extortion and abuse of office” after authorities discovered he had been paid for 15 years without ever going to work. The outlet called him a “serial absenteeist,” adding that six of Scumace’s superiors are also under investigation for allegedly aiding in his deception by not taking action against him. So far, an investigation has found that Scumace was hired in 2005 and never showed up for work.
