In North Rhine-Westphalia, extensive raids against social fraud and illegal structures have started today. More than 50 buildings and up to 100 residential units are checked, while the authorities target several employers. This campaign takes place on the initiative of the NRW Ministry for Home, Local, Construction and Digitization and is primarily directed against problematic living conditions and exploitative employment relationships.

V. offer support and are ready around the clock. Such measures are essential because many newcomers live in precarious work and living conditions in NRW and are often attracted under false promises.
