Question Air - Headers!

Below is a short article that was pointed out to me which appeared in The News of the World on Nov.7th.
Yes I know, The News of the World

Air traffic controllers at one of Europe's busiest airports put passenger's lives in danger by skipping work to play football, a court was told.
A mass trial of 61 controllers at Linate airport, Milan, Italy, heard that others covered for them while they were on the pitch as hundreds of planes passed overhead.

After the recent tragedy at this airport do they need something like this in the media.
Does anyone know if there is any truth in this or is it just sensationalist twaddle.
