The Main Customs Office Münster has revealed findings from inspections conducted on August 31, 2025, in the district of Borken. The inspections, carried out under the Anti-Bribery Act, targeted six establishments, five of which were gastronomic and one a taxi service.
In the first establishment, numerous violations were discovered. An investigation was initiated against an employee and her employer, with the employee, a 68-year-old, found to not have a valid residence permit. Additionally, the employee was not registered with social security, and there were violations regarding the minimum wage payment obligations.
In another restaurant, a man without a residence permit, two unregistered employees with social security, and an employee not receiving the minimum wage were found. Investigations were also initiated in this establishment.
Two employees in the third establishment were found to be working without being registered with social security, and two employees did not have their ID with them, contrary to regulations for the gastronomy sector. Investigations were initiated against these employees and their employer.
