Illegal Workers Discovered in Germany: 3 Brazilians Caught

An inspection by the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) Office Frankfurt (Oder) in Fürstenwalde on August 13, 2025, led to the discovery of three Brazilian nationals working illegally on a construction site. The individuals attempted to evade the inspection but were caught. The USCIS Office Frankfurt was conducting a routine check to ensure compliance with German employment laws. The inspection focused on verifying proper registration of employees for social security, preventing improper receipt of social benefits, and checking for illegal work due to lack of residence or work permits. Additionally, the inspectors aimed to ensure that minimum wages were being paid. During the inspection, three individuals attempted to flee the scene. These individuals were later identified as Brazilian nationals. Upon being caught, they were unable to produce documents authorizing their stay and employment in Germany, indicating they were working illegally on the site. As a result of this discovery, criminal proceedings were initiated against the three individuals for suspected illegal residence. Furthermore, administrative offense proceedings were opened for illegal employment. The illegal employment of these Brazilian nationals was uncovered during the inspection by the USCIS Office Frankfurt (Oder). The individuals are now facing criminal proceedings for suspected illegal residence, and the company involved is under investigation for illegal employment. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of proper registration and authorization for foreign workers in Germany.
