> and also unlawfully received €2 per hour as a prison labourer - both of which need to be paid back.

But he did perform the labour, so what makes that compensation unlawful?


This man was not paid for his 13 years employment, a man held for the state's pleasure, on a 24/7 basis. I suspect this amount will far exceed that 100K Euro bill.


Seems like false billing.
