“We are a new municipal authority, and after an investigation we discovered that the specific employee does not exist in the municipality. We had never seen his face. He had come by transfer from the municipality of Ilioupoli in a legal way as he cited health reasons and specifically due to mobility. He had registered his address in Oropos and was coming to work as usual. Until the onset of COVID-19, he was normally at his service, later he worked remotely. The field he was employed in was cleaning, he was employed as a laborer. It is definitely not possible for someone to work in cleaning remotely. Then, for health reasons, he started working remotely at the traffic office, i.e. he did some work related to oil, the movement of municipal vehicles. There is nothing to certify that he was working, that will be found by justice.

We as a new administration never found him in service. From the first days I asked him by phone to be physically present, he told me that he works remotely. Then, by order of the Mayor, we called again and from the first days of January we proceeded with the disciplinary and all the procedures provided for by law”.
