Social fraud in Tyrol: Masseur faithed over 60,000 euros!

A 46-year-old masseur from Tyrol has come into the focus of the investigators in a sensational case of social fraud. Between June 2021 and April 2024, the man who had been unspecified has made illegal social benefits of around 60,000 euros to an enormous extent. This reported ORF TIROL . The accused stated that he would be into financial hardship because he had to deduct debts from his training of 40,000 euros and support his family. However, this excuse could not conflict with the severity of his crimes.

The man was caught fraud against the social security insurance of the state of Tyrol, the Austrian Health Insurance Fund (ÖGK) and the labor market service (AMS). Despite his official rest period, he continued to work as a masseur in a hotel and achieved income that significantly exceeded the legally defined minor limit. This information led to the ongoing investigation through a communication of the ÖGK, which was ultimately initiated by the Task Force social fraud, such as Kosmo reported.

The prosecutor reacted to the serious allegations and decided against an out -of -court settlement. The masseur was sentenced to a conditional prison sentence of five months and a fine of 1,200 euros. It is currently in a debt regulation procedure and has already started to repay the illegal funds. The authorities are trying to reclaim the total sum caused by the fraudulent actions, and check further legal steps. This could have far -reaching consequences for the masseur, which now works regularly as a nurse.
