Furbetti del card, 28 precautionary measures in Palermo

They went shopping or jogging even though they were present at work. A new investigation into the "cunning of the card" invests the employees of the Municipality of Palermo and of some subsidiary companies, in service at the Zisa cultural yards. The financiers of the provincial command carried out an order for the application of precautionary measures issued by the investigating judge of the capital against 28 people. 8 were under house arrest; for another 14 the obligation of residence and presentation to the pg; for 6 only the latter. They are under investigation for various reasons for fraud against a public body and false attestation.

 The recipients of the precautionary measure are all employees of the Municipality of Palermo (11), of Co.IME (3) and of Re.Se.T. (14), in service at the Zisa Cultural Yards. Among them also a subject under investigation for the mafia.

    The investigations conducted by the investigators of the economic-financial police unit of Palermo-group for the protection of the goods and services market, directed by Colonel Gianluca Angelini, through video footage, stalking, stalking and documentary examinations, have revealed numerous and repeated episodes of absenteeism perpetrated by employees infidels who, according to the investigations, after having certified their presence in the service, arbitrarily moved away from the workplace to engage in activities of a private and personal nature, such as acquisitions or sports practices. There were also very frequent cases of multiple stamping by a single subject on behalf of several colleagues who were not actually present.

    In other cases, on the other hand, unlawful use was made of the extraordinary instrument of "manual recording", which allows, in the event of "forgetting" of one's personal badge, to certify one's presence by means of written communication.

    In this way the suspects thought of circumventing the automatic detection, which however the financiers have promptly reconstructed. A hidden camera right next to the electronic attendance device has made it possible, in just over three months, to record over a thousand cases that have resulted in false reporting for a total amount of approximately 2,500 hours of service never actually performed. .
