Big control in Duisburg: Customs and the police strike!

On December 6, 2024, the main customs office in Duisburg and the police in Duisburg, Oberhausen and Essen carried out comprehensive control, in which gastronomy businesses, kiosks and shisha bars were increasingly checked. The over 70 customs officers received support from police forces and other authorities. This campaign, which was also supported for the first time by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), aims to combat tax offenses and undeclared work. Stephanie Imhof, head of the Duisburg main customs office, emphasized the importance of such mergers to determine violations. During this campaign, numerous offenses were found, including the enforcement of open claims of 500 euros, two proceedings due to non -tax tobacco products and nine administrative offenses due to a lack of any identification papers. In a further 80 cases, additional exams are necessary, among other things due to suspected abuse of performance and not paid minimum wages, reported Lokalklick.eu .
