73-year-old Irish woman, Margaret Bergin, falsely claimed her dead father-in-law's pension for nearly 30 years, with her husband pretending to be her 110-year-old relative when officials visited. The fraud, worth over €270,000, was only discovered when a Cork-based researcher checked the background of a 110-year-old man receiving a state pension. Bergin admitted to 15 sample charges of theft and larceny in a sentencing hearing.
