PARIS (Reuters) - A French tax official cheated the government out of 600,000 euros (407,000 pounds) by creating a phantom identity as a university professor and claiming a salary for some 15 years, the government said on Monday.
Education Ministry officials uncovered the scam in June and began legal and disciplinary action immediately, Budget Minister Eric Woerth said in a statement.
He said he "desired action to be undertaken urgently to prevent a recurrence of an abuse of this kind."
