Same thing for Germany.

Someone is currently suing the Bavarian government for 750,000€ for 13 years of wrong imprisonment (he only received 400,000€ in damages, or 75€ per day).

Now the government is demanding 100,000€ back - 50,000€ for food and accomodation and 50,000€ for the total wage he received from mandatory prison labor.

It's not like he had any rights to do his mandatory 2€-per-hour job. Completely understandable /s
