Rome prosecutors are probing 36
Italian pilots who claimed lay-off benefits in Italy while
working for foreign airlines abroad, judicial sources said
Monday. Some pilots said they "forgot" to notify the relevant
agencies when they found new employment and were no longer
eligible for benefits, sources said. The national social
benefits agency INPS first began to flag suspicious cases in
March 2012. Pilots were said to be earning salaries of between
12,000 euros and 15,000 euros.
