One supervisor at
the Loreto Mare hospital was instead found working as a chef in
a hotel, while an on-duty doctor was spotted playing tennis and
going shopping. Two health workers were caught clocking in 20
colleagues each day to make it look like they were on the job.
Police said 55 of the suspects had been placed under house
arrest. There was no immediate comment from the hospital.
In a bid to tackle shirkers in the notoriously inefficient
public sector, the government signed into law last year a
measure to immediately suspend people caught dodging work,
pending an investigation into whether they should then be fired.
Managers who fail to comply with the new rules risk being fired
themselves.
