Service fraud in the district of Nienburg: woman pays 2,500 euros punishment!

Landkreis Nienburg, Deutschland - A woman from the Nienburg district must now bear the consequences of her actions. The district court of Nienburg sentenced them to a total of 2,500 euros. This amount corresponds to 50 daily rates of 50 euros, based on a judgment based on investigations by the main customs office Osnabrück.

The woman received services in accordance with the Social Code, but had not told the responsible employment agency in September 2023. As a result, it was wrongly obtained unemployment benefit I of around 920 euros. This example impressively shows how important it is to report changes in your own income relationships immediately in order to avoid legal consequences.

Investigations and discovery

The investigation by the main customs office Osnabrück resulted in an automated test system that compares the reported personnel data of employers with the unemployment data. In this case, it was noticed that the accused also received unemployment benefit I and a salary from her employer, which raised the suspicion of fraud. The public prosecutor's office was then involved, which was finally charged.

The legal framework when referring to social benefits are clear: Every beneficiary is obliged to report changes in personal conditions, in particular the inclusion of a new employment. The woman should have done this, but received no reaction to the relevant information.

Christian Heyer, press spokesman for the main customs office Osnabrück, said: "In addition to the fine and the costs of the procedure, the convict must of course pay back the too much received amounts to the service provider." This makes it clear that the abuse of social benefits not only has legal consequences, but also has financial burdens for those affected.

This decision of the district court sends a clear message: performance fraud is not worth it. The automation of the test processes ensures that hidden irregularities can also be uncovered. If you don't stick to the rules, you will be punished with hard sanctions, as has happened in this case. For further information on similar cases and their legal consequences, the reports of the main customs office are of great interest.
