Authorities in Brandenburg, Germany, have conducted a wide-ranging inspection across various sectors, uncovering 34 cases that require further action. The inspections, carried out in collaboration with multiple agencies, focused on labour and tax compliance.
The inspections, held on April 25, 2024, targeted businesses in Northwest Brandenburg. In Neuruppin, sectors such as catering, accommodation, retail, agriculture, and services were scrutinized. Meanwhile, barbershops in Potsdam-Mittelmark, Dahme-Spreewald, and Brandenburg an der Havel were the primary focus in Potsdam. A total of 115 people and 2 business records were inspected by 68 employees.
