Six men aged 25 to 55 must answer charges of illegal residence and illegal employment following a traffic accident on the A67. Around 7:30 AM on Monday (29.9.), the 55-year-old driver caused an accident near Ginsheim-Gustavsburg. During the accident investigation, suspicion arose that the driver and the five passengers, all from Georgia, were illegally present in Germany. They were arrested and taken to the station for criminal police measures. Here, the officers filed a criminal complaint. Furthermore, indications of illegal employment were found, leading to proceedings not only against the six men but also against the company owner.
