Defrauding the Government for Corona Aid Money

The German government, like the US government developed various programs overnight....to help with the Corona 'crisis'.  So today, this story popped up....via N-TV (commercial German news).

Up in Schleswig-Holstein (north Germany).....some numbers didn't add up, and that triggered an investigation.

So what they found was this business analyst who knew the system of Corona 'grants' and 'loans'.

He had turned in paperwork and was attempting defraud the government by about 15 million euros  (roughly 18 million dollars).

Presently....he'd even taken around half that money in his possession.

What this was related to?  Short-work activity and covering normal employees who weren't working a full shift.  In effect, he made up people and turned the paperwork in.  

The guy right now?  Sitting in jail and waiting for the charges to be rendered.
