Entrepreneur Sentenced for Years of Social Security Fraud
A 49-year-old entrepreneur from the Regensburg district has been found guilty of making false statements to social security authorities and the Federal Employment Agency for years. The entrepreneur, who owns a tiling company, was sentenced to one year and eleven months in prison for withholding wages and subsidy fraud.
The entrepreneur's deceit was uncovered during a police raid investigating social security fraud in the Upper Palatinate region. It was revealed that the entrepreneur had not paid social security contributions totalling around 56,000 euros. Furthermore, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the entrepreneur repeatedly applied for short-time work allowance despite his employees working full-time, resulting in an additional 63,000 euros being unlawfully received.
The entrepreneur's false statements led to a prison sentence, with the execution of the sentence currently suspended.
The entrepreneur's actions have resulted in a significant financial loss to the authorities and have potentially disadvantaged other businesses that comply with the law. The Regensburg District Court's sentencing serves as a reminder of the consequences of such fraudulent activities.
