Now the pensioner has to answer in court.

Catanzaro - An Italian hospital employee came up with a slightly different type of passive income.

According to media reports, the man did not show up for work for 15 years and still “earned” more than half a million euros - more precisely: 538,000 euros.

As reported by the BBC, the now 67-year-old is said to have turned up for work in 2005 at the Ciaccio Hospital in Catanzaro.

Since then, the "king of the absent", as he is called in the press, has not lifted a finger for the hospital.

Man absent from work for 15 years: superiors threatened
