Nobody was paying attention.

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

“It also emerged Recio had been running a male brothel out of his home since 2005. “

So who says he wasn’t working s/

[COBOL2Java]

I'm sure Strzok would have no problems with this

[Deplorable American1776]

If one of my employee didn’t show up for work for 10 years, I’d fired him after 3 weeks...

[G Larry]

Would be true of 50% of civil servants, as they have no meaningful productivity measures.

[antidemoncrat]

Heck, Congress has been doing that for decades.

[cuban leaf]

He’s not the problem. His boss is.

Jeff Sessions???

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.

Well, he did find a productive way to spend his time, there's that.

Some things you just can't make up.

Thankfully, this would never happen in the US.

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.

Punch the time clock

The US Had one for eight years who made more money and paid for his wife’s staff. What is the biggy?

[Starboard]

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.

Jeff Sessions says “Hold my beer...”

[IC Ken]

He has a lot in common with Barney Frank.

[BenLurkin]

Spain?

Civil servant?

Male brothel?

Barney Franco?

[Red Badger]

AS I have always said, you can swap bureaucrats from any country in the world with any other country and you would see no difference at all.................

[Moltke]

10 years before colleagues began to raise suspicions

Obviously they were not at work either.

It's like that old Zen riddle: When there is no civil servant in the building, does anyone notice?
