Not sure if this is appropriate for this list, but just for lulz. A finnish member of parliament just got caught for his speech being a word for word piece of snippets from a Finnish Wikipedia article. No intervening binding lines, just the Wikipedia text. Way to go!!!
It happened also with some proposed laws in the Italian parliament (in the introductory report or whatever is the name in English).
