Bosnian-German Couple in Bavaria Faces Illegal Employment, Residence Aid Suspicions

A Bosnian-German couple in Eichstätt, Bavaria, faces suspicion of employing workers illegally and aiding in their unauthorised residence. The Main Customs Office Augsburg recently searched the couple's home as part of an ongoing investigation.

The probe centres around unregistered employees in the construction sector. Authorities suspect the couple did not register these workers for social security, with some labouring up to 60 hours a month off the books. A Bosnian construction worker, residing illegally in Germany, was discovered on-site during the investigation.

The search at the couple's residence was carried out by the Main Customs Office Augsburg. While the exact investigating authority for this case hasn't been specified, it's standard for such offences to be handled by customs and the relevant social insurance institution. Further investigations are underway to determine if the couple also assisted in the illegal residence of these workers.

The investigation into the Bosnian-German couple's suspected illegal employment practices and potential assistance in unauthorised residence continues. No further details are provided to avoid impeding the ongoing probe.
