We had the same case in France last December with a report on Intelligent Transportation Systems from a member of the French Parliement. The introduction of the report was almost a cut and paste from the Wikipedia article.

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!!!
Puts the neutrality of the Wikipedia into severe doubt, though. Parliament speeches aren't particularly known for choosing a neutral point of view.
