A Japanese bus driver with 29 years of service lost his retirement package worth $84,000 after being fired for stealing $7 from passengers' fares.
Kyoto City sacked the man, who was not named, after he was filmed by the security camera of his bus pilfering 1,000 yen ($7) in 2022.
After he was denied his retirement money of more than 12 million yen ($84,000), the driver sued the city but lost the case.
The verdict was overturned in his favour, with a court ruling that the punishment was excessive.
