thousands of sham managing directors from Eastern Europe in the service of the underworld: billions of billions for Germany

Organized crime uses thousands of people from Eastern Europe as a hinge in Germany without knowing them. These mock executives are used by criminals as managing directors and shareholders to operate illegal business. The resulting damage amounts to a double -digit billions of bills annually. This emerges from exclusive research by the RBB, which was confirmed by the customs criminal office.

The strans are often homeless and addicted people who are abused by the backers of organized crime. Due to their participation, criminals manage to disguise their responsibility and establish complex company networks. Serious crimes such as money laundering, smuggling, social security fraud and tax fraud in the millions are committed through these networks.

The customs criminal office reports on professionalization of the straw man's deployment and a flourishing market for the mediation of bogus managing directors. Even notaries and business advisors are part of this criminal service area. All relevant criminal organizations in Germany use strans and their use has been increasing for years. The criminals thus undermine the integrity of society and represent a serious threat.

The European prosecutor Annegret Ritter-Victor warns of the effects of economic crime, which, in such dimensions, proves to be a transparency. The use of straw men endangers the credibility of the rule of law and damages confidence in business transactions. This can affect entire industries.

In view of these alarming developments, the Federal President of the German Tax Union, Florian Köbler, calls for better equipment for tax investigations. Every year, systematic tax fraud causes billions in damage, while the tax investigators are chronically understaffed. Köbler emphasizes that every tax investigator brings an average of over one million euros to the state and it is therefore high time to invest in personnel and IT.

The ARD will radiate the documentary "The Strohmann Kartell. Service provider for the Mafia" on July 30, 204 at 10:50 p.m.
