Fraud in Osnabrück: 24-year-old has to pay for social security fraud

A shocking fraud case shakes Osnabrück! The main customs office has uncovered a scandalous incident in which a 24-year-old woman from Cloppenburg wrongly received social benefits. The Cloppenburg district court made a harsh judgment and sentenced the fraudster to a fine of 30 daily rates of 50 euros each. A clear case of dishonest behavior that brought the authorities into action!

The investigation began when the employment agency's financial control for undeclared work noticed that the woman had collected more than 410 euros in unemployment benefit I while at the same time working in a mini-job and earning income there. The brazen deception was discovered because customs officers regularly compare the personnel data reported by employers with the unemployment data. The woman had dared to keep quiet about her employment, which now has fatal consequences for her!

Penalty and repayment

Christian Heyer, press spokesman for the Osnabrück main customs office, made it clear: “In addition to the fine, the convicted person must of course pay back the excess amounts received to the service provider.” The defendants' shamelessness not only jeopardized their financial future, but also undermined trust in the social system. Further proof that fraud does not go unpunished! The main customs office remains vigilant and will continue to take action against such machinations.
