Major Tax Evasion Probe Hits Block House Steakhouse Chain Supplier
On February 15, officers from Dortmund Main Customs Office inspected a wholesaler in Castrop-Rauxel. The investigation uncovered a significant amount of untaxed goods, including E-cigarettes and snus, leading to a tax evasion probe. The company behind the wholesaler remains unnamed, but it has links to the Block House steakhouse chain and a related legal case involving a security firm.
The inspection resulted in the seizure of 21,049 units of non-trafficable disposable E-cigarettes, containing 357.302 liters of E-liquid. Additionally, 2,230 cans of snus were found on-site. The total tax loss amounts to 71,460.40 euros due to these untaxed products. The investigation was initiated on-site and is ongoing. The family of Christina Block, daughter of the founder of the Block House steakhouse chain, is involved in a related legal case linked to a security firm connected to the wholesaler being investigated.
The wholesaler's company is not explicitly named in the search results, but its ties to the Block House chain and the ongoing legal case suggest potential implications for the steakhouse's operations and reputation.
