A Spanish public servant who skipped work for a decade without anyone noticing spent his free time running a male brothel and drawing erotic comics.
Carles Recio, who was paid a €50,000 ($58,000) salary as an archives director in Valencia’s provincial government, would show up to the office every morning at 7:30 a.m. to clock in using the fingerprint scanner before heading home, only returning to the office at 3:30 p.m. to clock out.
He kept up the routine for 10 years before colleagues began to raise suspicions. After Spanish newspaper El Mundo broke the story 18 months ago, Recio was finally fired, despite his insistence that he had done nothing wrong.
It also emerged Recio had been running a male brothel out of his home since 2005. At one point he threatened to reveal the identities of his clients, warning there may have been cameras inside and the “graphic information” could compromise many politicians.

He should have been prosecuted for fraud, at the very least.

So who says he wasn’t working s/
If one of my employee didn’t show up for work for 10 years, I’d fired him after 3 weeks...
Would be true of 50% of civil servants, as they have no meaningful productivity measures.
Heck, Congress has been doing that for decades.
He’s not the problem. His boss is.
Yes you would. However, we are talking about the Spanish Civil Service. That civil service carried over to all of Central and South American and Mexico too. Coming soon to Mexifornia in the near future.
LOL. I never knew what he looked like until now - the joys of keeping news to text only.
Jeff Sessions???
Well, he did find a productive way to spend his time, there's that.
Some things you just can't make up.
When I worked at Honeywell in the early ‘80’s, at a campus in Clearwater, which had 5000 total employees, one of them would check in at first light and have coffee with his buddies. He’d then get into his car and drive two miles to Hercules, where he’d do the same thing. As I understood, he seldom, if ever, did any work at either facility. The IRS caught him and reported him to both employers. Hercules fired him. But, Honeywell only cared that he wasn’t also at Hercules. I don’t know how he finally ended up as I left. Both companies were very like their customer, the government.
I used to live in a subdivision where many state employees lived. Listening to them talk, it seems they did little work. For example, a couple of them had a regular golfing appointment on Thursdays during the day. I asked and they laughed about making up the time. They were allowed, as professionals, to set their own schedules. Believe me, they weren’t very high up on the totem pole.
The US Had one for eight years who made more money and paid for his wife’s staff. What is the biggy?
There are lots of Recio clones in our government who drift in and out of the office. Just saying.
He would fit in well in NoVa.
LOL!
Sessions has done a disappearing act that many in government are envious of. Like the song says “Money for Nothin”.
There were quite a few gov-co drones who were nobodies and they had better than banker’s hours.
They could come and go whenever and would whine about all the vacation time they had to use or give up.
My time sheets were scanned for the slightest discrepancy.
