The teacher was on sick leave for almost 17 years and received a salary in Germany - the principal of the school did not know about her existence at all. The woman has not gone to work due to an "illness" since 2009, and the new principal, who headed the school in 2015, did not even know such an employee existed. As a result, her sick leave lasted almost 17 years. During this period, she received almost one million euros (~90 million rubles). At the same time, she relaxed at home, opened a business and went diving. She is accused of fraud and falsification of documents.
