Nine civil service employees
were sentenced to 14 months in prison for defrauding the State,
sources said Monday.
The nine employees of a Bologna industry ministry office
were found to have engaged in chronic absenteeism, with
colleagues punching each other in then going shopping or to the
gym.
They were turned in by a fellow colleague.
They will also have to compensate the ministry, which was a
civil plaintiff in the criminal proceedings against them.
