Football fan who skipped work 'betrayed' by Facebook

Macerata (Italy), May 4 (IANS/AKI) An Italian post office worker who took paid leave from work, purportedly to care for a disabled relative, is in trouble with police after he posted on Facebook a picture of his air ticket to a Champions League match on the same day.

The man, from the eastern city of Macerata, faces fraud charges for allegedly claiming 11 such days leave from work on full pay to attend soccer matches in Italy, France, Germany, Greece and Sweden, mainly in 2013 and 2014.
