Large control in the Cuxhaven district: Customs reveals illegal structures!

A comprehensive blow to illegal structures! On Friday, December 6, 2024, the main customs office in Bremen, together with various authorities in the Cuxhaven district and in Delmenhorst, carried out large -scale controls against undeclared work and clankrimality. The campaign affected in particular restaurants such as cafes, shishabars and betting shops, which are considered risky areas for criminal activities. Among the control forces, the financial control of undeclared work (FKS), the police and the tax investigation were involved.

arrests and seizures in Cuxhaven

In Cuxhaven, four businesses were meticulously checked during the searches. The officers found in a shishabar over four kilograms of unmistaked hookah tobacco and an unauthorized gaming device in the basement. The Shishabar operator tried in vain to hide the tobacco products when the inspectors arrived. In addition, the auditors discovered defects in the ventilation system of the company. Volker von Maurich, spokesman for the main customs office in Bremen, emphasized that these measures not only uncover violations, but also provide valuable information about clan structures and illegal jobs. "The exam sets a clear sign that undeclared work and illegal employment are not tolerated," said by Maurich.

extended investigation and social security law violations

The searches in Delmenhorst confirmed the fears of illegal practices: here three illegal betting and slot machines were ensured in a hidden room. Customs checks further information on the withholding of social security contributions and the abuse of unemployment benefits. This nationwide measure sends a strong signal against competitive exploitation and illegal jobs, according to the customs speaker. Further investigations are expected that could take several weeks. While the controls last, attention remains on the affected commercial and their practices.
