If the thought that your neighbours may be committing benefit fraud is unbearable, anonymously informing on them to the municipal authorities is now easier.
The majority of municipalities in South and Southern Jutland have systematised the citizens’ reports.
- I do not actually care for informing. But fraud is just not tolerable, says Gylling Haahr, the Mayor of Varde, to dr.dk/syd.
It is possible to inform on others to the municipal authorities online. Yesterday, Varde municipality publicised a link on its website for citizens to provide anonymous information about others.
Profitable reports
It appears many locals are pleased to have somewhere to lodge their suspicions.
Last year, the eight municipalities of South and Southern Jutland received more than 300 anonymous reports.
Along with non-anonymous reports, it generated more than 18 million kroner extra to the public coffers.
