The dirty business is said to have just hooked a company from the cleaning industry. How did the alleged “coup d’état” of three million become known?
Finance Minister Magnus Brunner (ÖVP) reported on the case at a press conference on the work of the financial police. The company would have achieved almost the same turnover and profit in 2020 as in 2019. 2019 was also the company’s strongest year in terms of turnover. In order to achieve this turnover, according to the Minister of Finance, contracts were passed on to subcontractors, who, due to a lack of staff, awarded contracts to other subcontractors – a kind of pyramid scheme.
Black payments and social fraud
These workers are said to be only marginally or not at all enrolled in Social Security and illegally paid. There would have been too little taxes paid and it is also about benefit fraud.
The researchers also assume that the covid-19 subsidies were at least partly obtained unjustly. If this suspicion is confirmed, fraud will be reported and the covid-19 funding will have to be repaid.
