The Main Customs Office Schweinfurt is conducting a series of inspections at the Kiliani Volksfest in Würzburg, with a focus on scrutinizing the employment relationships of showmen. Over 70 staff members from the Financial Control Schwarzarbeit of the Main Customs Office Schweinfurt are involved in the operation.

The purpose of these inspections is to ensure compliance with social security obligations, payment of the statutory minimum wage, and detection of illegal employment, sham self-employment, and improper receipt of social benefits. The authority responsible for these checks is the Financial Control of Illegal Employment (Finanzkontrolle Schwarzarbeit) of the Main Customs Office Schweinfurt.

Journalists interested in the inspections can contact the press office of the Main Customs Office Schweinfurt on site next to the police festival booth on the Kiliani festival grounds. Benedikt Danz, the spokesman for the Main Customs Office Schweinfurt, is the official source for questions, interviews, and statements related to the inspections.

The press release with the preliminary overall results of today's operation will be issued tomorrow and is expected to contain information about the findings and outcomes of the inspections. The document titled "20250709_pm_kiliani.pdf" is 17 kB in size and will likely be transmitted via news aktuell.

The showmen's trade is one of the branches particularly affected by black work, and the inspections are focused on fairground rides, game booths, and sales stands. The inspections will continue until late afternoon.
