The Departmental Anti-Fraud Operational Committee (I get up) presented its 2023 results at the beginning of May.
47 control operations were decided in Codaf and carried out jointly in various sectors : construction sites, agriculture during the sugar campaign, restaurants and snack bars… Nearly 90 reports for concealed work were sent to the public prosecutor’s office last year, and four establishments were subject to administrative closures for resorting to hidden work. In the area of fraud (prosecutors, customs, fraud with social security contributions or benefits), a total amount of 110 million euros was detected by the services. Tax fraud represents the majority of frauds and errors detected, for an amount of 80 million euros of which 58% was recovered. The amount of fraud avoided amounts to 31 million euros. As part of the new plan to combat illegal work for 2023-2027, services continue their action in priority sectors (BTP, restoration, agriculture, coiffure, festive sector, nightclub, etc.), but they “will also make sure to fight against new deviant forms of work, announces Codaf. Cybersurveys will be carried out to combat the use of illegal work via social networks, against the false status of independent workers and against the exploitation of foreigners without a title”.
