Forwarding, transport, and logistics companies in Duisburg and along the A3 motorway prioritize testing amid 38 cases that require further examination.
In a bid to combat undeclared work and illegal employment, the Financial Control Schwarzarbeit (FKS) of the Main Customs Office Duisburg carried out operations on 12.11.2024. The focus of these operations was the freight forwarding, transport, and logistics industry in the Duisburg city area and on the A3 motorway.
The FKS is responsible for ensuring that minimum working conditions are met and for checking for exploitative working conditions. Their inspections can be random, spontaneous, based on their own risk assessments, or in response to tips.
During these operations, irregularities were found in 38 cases. These irregularities included hourly wage issues, social benefits, employment of foreigners, and failure to notify social security. As a result, four investigations were initiated on the spot: one criminal investigation for suspected illegal residence and three administrative offenses.
The customs officers recorded the details of 115 persons encountered during the inspections. The search results do not provide the name of the head of the Financial Control of Undeclared Work (FKS) at the Main Customs Office in Duisburg.
The FKS also verifies if foreigners have the necessary work permits or residence titles. Additionally, they investigate potential fraudulent claims of social benefits. The customs officers will continue necessary investigations, including examining business records.
The Main Customs Office Duisburg operates in the areas of Duisburg, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr, Oberhausen, Wesel District, and Kleve District. Inquiries about the FKS operations can be directed to the Main Customs Office Duisburg Press Office. Their contact details are: Telephone: 0203 / 7134 - 348, Email: [email protected], Website: www.zoll.de
It is important to note that no further information about the outcome of the specific inspections was provided in the article. However, the FKS primarily targets industries with high rates of undeclared work, and these operations underscore their commitment to maintaining fair labour practices and ensuring compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
