During this year’s financial police operation at Frequency Festival, several cases of undeclared work were uncovered. Compared to last year, however, there were far fewer violations. In addition, a total of eleven security violations were discovered at the Coldplay concerts.
At Frequency, 174 employee checks in the security, hospitality and cleaning sectors revealed 18 violations of the ASVG. The Ministry of Finance announced this on Sunday. In four cases, there is a suspicion of wage dumping. “The mandatory working time registration was also hardly kept up by the security companies,” the ministry writes. In addition, the financial police collected more than 270,000 euros in debt attachment.
154 security personnel checked at Coldplay
In the context of the Coldplay concerts, 154 people, mainly from the security sector, were checked. There were eleven violations of the ASVG and one violation of the Foreign Nationals Employment Act. In a number of cases, further investigation is ongoing. At one company, a tax arrears of 4,000 euros was collected; in another case, there is a suspicion of a fictitious company. Mobile ‘supermarket salespeople’ were reported because they did not have cash registers with them.

Because some of the employees checked also receive unemployment benefits, emergency aid or minimum income, some control reports were also sent to the AMS. There may be a case of benefit fraud.
