Barbara faked her pregnancy to get free time off work and receive maternity benefits.
Reported by brilio.net from The Sun on Monday (22/4), according to documents submitted by Barbara, she had undergone 17 pregnancies, 12 of which did not last long due to abortion.
Barbara also recorded 5 births of healthy babies named Benedetta, Angelica, Abramo, Letizia, and Ismael. Only, there is no record that they were ever registered, and no one has ever actually seen the baby.
Barbara allegedly gave birth to her youngest child in December last year. But now authorities claim that Ida was monitored during the end of her pregnancy.

After an investigation, authorities had proof that Barbara had never been pregnant. They also suspected that Barbara had faked the 17 pregnancies she announced in order to claim benefits of more than 110,000 euros or around Rp. 1.9 billion and get time off work.
The existence of this case caused an uproar in cyberspace. In fact, the fraud case committed by Barbara Loele made national headlines in her home country, Italy. The story is so unbelievable that even most filmmakers consider it exaggerated.
Prosecutors claim that Barbara's elaborate fraud over the past two decades has involved the theft of birth certificates from the Rhoma clinic and other forged documents.
As well as a doctor's signature, a pillow to imitate a baby bump, and walking exercises to look pregnant. In order to make it look like she was pregnant, Barbara Loele registered the stolen medical certificate with a fake signature.

Thanks to her skill in committing fraud, she managed to receive maternity benefits and maternity leave for years from various companies. Amazingly, no one suspected anything, considering that Barbara had reportedly been carrying out this fraud since 2000.
"I know very well that my partner is not pregnant," said Davide Pizzinato, Barbara's partner, when he confessed during an interrogation session by the local police.
In addition, Davide claims that he had been aware of his wife's deception since 2012, when their relationship began. He was accused of being Barbara's accomplice, but Davide was willing to testify against his wife in exchange for a lighter sentence.
