Disco Owner Fined 6,000 Euros for Social Security Fraud
A former disco owner in Regensburg has been penalised for social security fraud. The supreme court fined him 6,000 euros for failing to pay contributions for employees who were working before their official registrations.
The disco, which had been operating since November 2022, only registered its employees for social security in January 2023. This meant that the employer, a nightclub operator, withheld 8,546 euros in social security contributions. The investigation was launched by the Financial Control Black Work (FKS) of the Main Customs Office Regensburg following an anonymous tip. The supreme court set the fine at 100 daily rates of 60 euros each. Gerhard Pylipp, head of the FKS, warned employers about the severe consequences of such violations.
The disco's former owner must pay a 6,000 euros fine and the outstanding social security contributions of 8,546 euros. This serves as a reminder for employers to ensure all employees are properly registered for social security, regardless of when they start working.
