Customs office reveals early statistics for scrutiny at Kiliani festival's entertainment sector

The Main Customs Office Schweinfurt, responsible for the Financial Control of Illegal Work, recently conducted an inspection on the showmen and catering industry at the Kiliani Volksfest in Würzburg on July 10, 2025. Approximately 224 employees were questioned about their employment status, and a total of 67 showmen businesses were inspected during this operation.

The inspection identified possible violations, which are now being further investigated by the Main Customs Office. These inspections are based on a risk-oriented approach and are an important tool for reducing the social acceptance of illegal work.

The Kiliani Volksfest, a popular event in Würzburg, was not exempt from scrutiny. The Main Customs Office collaborated with the German Pension Insurance and immigration authorities in these investigations. However, the future investigations into possible violations will be led by the relevant local law enforcement authorities, though the specific lead entity is not explicitly named in the provided search results.

The results of the inspection can be found in the document titled "20250710_pm_kiliani_results.pdf". The Main Customs Office is also inviting interested citizens to gain insight into the tasks and activities of the Financial Control of Illegal Work of the Customs Service on July 26, 2025.
