Unemployed woman ‘forgets’ to report that she has been on holiday in Tenerife for 5 years: 33,500 euros in benefits incorrectly received

She had been on holiday in Tenerife for five years, but still received monthly allowances from the Walloon employment service. In Namur, the woman was sentenced today to repay the more than 33,500 euros in unjustly received benefits. She said she had “forgotten” to report that she had started a new life, but now has to pay back 100 euros a month for 30 years.
