Europe-wide Crackdown Uncovers Labor Exploitation in Friedrichshafen and Göppingen
In a Europe-wide crackdown on human trafficking and labor exploitation, Friedrichshafen and Göppingen were among the cities targeted. The operation, supervised by Hagen Kohlmann as press spokesman, uncovered numerous violations including illegal employment, minimum wage breaches, and workers without proper documentation.
From September 22 to 26, 2025, inspectors found five people illegally in Germany in Friedrichshafen. At least one was discovered working 'under the table', and several indications of minimum wage violations were found. In some cases, employee identities and residences were unclear, leading to 'ED treatments', and five employees attempted to flee but were apprehended.
The operation was a follow-up to a joint inspection on September 19, 2025, which revealed 22 illegally employed workers and 15 people with no social security contributions paid in the Ostalb region to Lake Constance. In Göppingen, two establishments had no records of working hours, sparking investigations into potential minimum wage breaches. One establishment in Friedrichshafen also lacked working hour records. In Göppingen, one illegally employed worker, several without IDs, and two working 'under the table' were found among the 37 inspected employees.
The Europe-wide control action against human trafficking and labor exploitation uncovered significant issues in Friedrichshafen and Göppingen. Authorities found illegally employed workers, minimum wage breaches, and workers without proper documentation. The operation highlights the need for continued vigilance and enforcement to protect workers' rights and combat exploitation.
