Customs Inspect 70+ Showmen's Trade Stands at Kiliani Volksfest

Over 70 personnel from the Financial Control Schwarzarbeit of the Main Customs Office Schweinfurt are currently inspecting the showmen's trade at the Kiliani Volksfest in Würzburg. The operation, led by spokesperson Benedikt Danz, aims to ensure compliance with crucial regulations and combat illegal immigration activities.

The inspections, which began today, cover various aspects of the fairground activities. Teams are scrutinising fairground rides, game booths, and sales stands to ensure they meet social security obligations and pay the statutory minimum wage. Additionally, they are on the lookout for illegal employment, sham self-employment, and improper receipt of social benefits.

The showmen's trade is a sector particularly prone to such issues, making it a target for these risk-oriented customs inspections. The operation is expected to continue until late afternoon, with Benedikt Danz serving as the primary contact for any questions or statements related to the investigations.

The Main Customs Office Schweinfurt's inspections at the Kiliani Volksfest in Würzburg are part of their ongoing efforts to maintain fair practices and combat illegal immigration activities within the showmen's trade. The operation is expected to wrap up later today, with spokesperson Benedikt Danz available for further information.
