'Dead' mum visits son at work
A Romanian man has been sacked after his mother visited him at work - minutes after he told his boss she had just died.
Florin Radu Hretu, 27, from Pascani in Iasi county, had just asked to borrow some money to pay for her funeral.
He has given the equivalent of £150 but had to immediately pay it back when his mother turned up a few minutes later.
He was also fired and is also being investigated by police for fraud.
A spokesman for the prosecutor's office, Liviu Beceru, said: "The young man tried to defend himself saying he received a call in which he was being informed about his mother death but refused to say who that person was."
