A German bank employee fell asleep on the keyboard of his computer and accidentally transfered $293 million which lead to the sacking of a colleague, a court has heard.
A German labour court ruled on Monday that a bank supervisor was unfairly sacked for missing a multi-million- euro error by a colleague who fell asleep during a financial transaction.
The clerk was transferring 64.20 euros when he dozed off with his finger on the keyboard, resulting in a transfer of 222,222,222.22 euros ($293 million).
His supervisor was fired for allegedly failing to check the transaction.
But judges in the state of Hesse said she should have only been reprimanded.
