Restaurant Owner Fined €9,000 for Aiding Illegal Residence

A restaurant owner in the Aschaffenburg area has been fined €9,000 by the Aschaffenburg Local Court for aiding and abetting the illegal residence of three individuals. The 32-year-old restaurateur employed Georgian workers without the necessary residence permits for employment over a period of three years.

The women, who entered the country with fake Slovak passports, were employed by the defendant, who facilitated their illegal residence. The case was investigated by the Financial Control Office for Illegal Employment of the Main Customs Office Schweinfurt in 2022, and the judgment was published as 20250822_PM_Judgment.pdf. Despite the investigation, the identity of the person behind the violations remains unknown.

The restaurateur was found guilty of aiding and abetting the illegal residence of the three individuals in three separate cases. The €9,000 fine serves as a penalty for the defendant's actions and a deterrent for future violations of residence law.
