<""I even wore a necklace and makeup""... A son disguises himself as his dead mother and collects his pension>
– A case was revealed in Italy where a man disguised himself as his dead mother and stole her pension. Mr. A, 56, did not report the death of his mother, who passed away three years ago, and continued to receive pension while hiding the body at home.
– Mr. A wrapped his mother’s body in a bed sheet and sleeping bag and stored it at home. Afterwards, he went to a government building to renew his expired ID card and was spotted by an employee looking suspicious. The employee found it strange that she was wearing a long skirt, lipstick, and even a necklace and earrings and reported it.
– Borgo Virgilio Mayor Francesco Aporti explained, “”She visited the government building wearing a long skirt, lipstick, a necklace and old earrings.” He continued, “But when you look up close, the neck is so thick and the wrinkles are so awkward that it’s hard to see it as the skin of an 85-year-old woman.”
– The police searched Mr. A’s residence and found his mummified body. Mr. A was found to have pocketed approximately 53,000 euros (approximately 90 million won) per year, including his mother’s pension and income from three houses he owns, and is currently being investigated on charges of fraud and illegal hiding of bodies.
