Frequency: Safety
Strict controls after “illegal employment raid”
Security is a hot topic in the run-up to the Frequency Festival in St. Pölten (Lower Austria). The checks on security staff have now been tightened up!
A major raid at the Frequency Festival made waves last year: In the course of a focus check by the financial police at the event site in St. Pölten, dozens of security staff are said to have fled. Apparently, several security staff (out of a total of 600) had not been correctly registered, but this was "impossible to check", the organizer immediately responded to the accusations. It is now clear that things "did not run smoothly", but "all accusations turned out to be false", Harry Jenner emphasized to the "Krone". Nevertheless, the event organizer did a lot of digging.
They have been in close contact with the financial police ever since, and contracts with contractors have been scrutinized. According to Jenner, the "black sheep among the subcontractors" have been replaced. The financial police's findings were quite different: "nine out of 13 security companies used were found to have "massive malversations" in some cases - such as illegal employment, missing business licenses or tax debts and social fraud by bogus companies. Fines amounting to around 625,000 euros were applied for 429 illegal employees, according to the report.
According to the executive, the authorities will also carry out their own checks on security staff this year.
