A high school philosophy
professor was fired after 14 years on the job because he forgot
to report he was fined 200 euros for urinating into a bush 11
years ago, Corriere della Sera paper reported Thursday.
Stefano Rho', 43, a father of three born in Uganda of
humanitarian doctor parents, in the summer of 2005 attended a
village feast in Averara, pop. 182, located in the northern
Brembana Valley.
The village shut down early and there was no bathroom
available, so Rho' and his friend relieved themselves in a bush.
Police caught them in the act, cited them, and a justice of the
peace eventually fined them 200 euros.
In 2013, Rho' signed an education ministry form stating he
had no criminal record. But the Bergamo school system discovered
the discrepancy, and censured him.
However the Audit Court later ruled that lying about one's
record is grounds for firing, and he was.
