You have no actual evidence for your allegation that he did no work for years. And not telling someone for 9 days that they are fired is simply not acceptable.

You have no actual evidence for your allegation that he did no work for years. And not telling someone for 9 days that they are fired is simply not acceptable. I don't know the legal requirements in the relevant jurisdiction here, but firing people without telling them is usually either invalid entirely or at least a really, really shitty move. That HR is unable to confirm the employment state for 9 days is just absurd, that's no way to run a company.
