Employee of the company Aerostar MSK in Russia city in Zheleznogorsk, Kursk region, mistakenly received a monthly salary of 1.7 million rubles /about 34 thousand BGN at the exchange rate for June 7, 2024/. The company was not able to get its money back through the court, writes Telegram channel Mash.

Having an ordinary position in a factory - a preparer of a rolling machine, in the first month of work he received a salary of 17 thousand rubles. But within a month his income increased 100 times, which made him a millionaire - he received 1.7 million rubles on a card marked "Salary for December".

Initially, management said the money should be returned and asked the employee to sign documents to challenge the transfer in court. According to the publication, he was even threatened. After that, the case went to court. The company lost both the first trial and all subsequent ones. It was decided to leave the money with the clerk, as the translation error proved to be technical, not arithmetic, as the accounting staff had not removed the extra numbers in the program.

The man spent the money on the purchase of two cars - Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Aveo, gold jewelry for his wife and donated part of it to the Russian military operation in Ukraine.
