A check by the financial police brought the Frequency Festival in St. Pölten to the point of cancellation. The reason: dozens of security guards and suppliers suddenly fled.
According to a broadcast by the Ministry of Finance, numerous security guards have been informed of the upcoming visit by text message in advance. “As soon as officials arrived, dozens of security personnel and food delivery workers fled,” the ministry said on Sunday.

The question was whether the so-called Nightpark, the beginning of the music acts in the inner area of the event center, could be opened. “The escaped employees of the security company were missing and the subcontractor responsible had not been able to fulfill his functions for at least two hours,” it was stressed.
“We are constantly monitoring the major events and the results of recent months have been devastating. Labor relations of security personnel outsourced to subcontractors and subcontractors. They often do not shy away from employing people without a work or residence permit. These subcontractors almost never meet the security checks that are actually required of employees. Security issues should not be taken lightly at major events. The financial police protect honest event organizers with their checks,” explains Wilfried Lehner, head of the financial police.
