A German man has been fined $349,000 (NZ) for cheating at a supermarket self-service checkout. Munich's district court convicted the 58-year-old businessman of theft for trying to pass off $79 worth of veal liver as cheaper fruit. The man, who wasn't identified, had done the same thing three times before and also had past convictions for theft and tax evasion. He was released from jail, where he had been held since the theft in December.
