Restaurant owner punished for confessing to his employees hiring a ‘false pastor’

According to the US Department of Labor statement, Che Garibaldi, who runs two restaurants in the north of the state, hired a fake pastor during work hours and led his employees to confess.

During the sworn confession session, the fake priest asked the employees if they were late for work, stole money from the restaurant, or had bad intentions with their employers.

Authorities launched an investigation based on employee complaints, while the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento reported that no pastor affiliated with them had anything to do with the incident.
