Customs raid in Ansbach: Suspicion of undeclared work in the catering business
On Tuesday afternoon, an impressive raid took place in the Ansbach urban area, which was carried out by Nuremberg customs in close cooperation with the Ansbach public prosecutor's office. The focus of the search operation, which mobilized numerous emergency services in both uniformed and civilian clothing, was a catering establishment where illegal employment was suspected. A spokeswoman for the Nuremberg Main Customs Office confirmed this when asked. The officers secured extensive evidence that is now important for the ongoing investigation, NN reports.
The raid was carried out on Wednesday evening, which gave it an extra boost. The responsible customs authority also confirmed that the measure was aimed at checking possible violations of the illegal employment law in the catering sector. Nordbayern also pointed out the importance of these investigations in this context.
What is undeclared work?
But what exactly does moonlighting actually mean? The term refers to a variety of criminal offenses and administrative offenses that are punished by customs. The catering and construction industries are particularly affected, where allegations such as wage tax evasion or the illegal employment of foreigners are common. In many cases, experience shows, compliance with the minimum wage law is not observed, or there are indications of bogus self-employment, which can have consequences under both labor law and criminal law anwalt.de informs.
The ongoing investigations suggest that there may be employment relationships in the affected catering establishment that have not been properly reported. The consequences for the operators could be serious: everything from high fines to possible prison sentences to claims for damages could be on the table if the suspicion is true and the investigation proves successful.
It will be exciting to see what further details will come to light in the coming days. Those responsible at the scene of the raid have not yet revealed any comprehensive information, probably in order not to jeopardize further investigative tactics. However, one thing is certain: the authorities are vigilant and are taking the issue of undeclared work in the region seriously.
