177.100 Euro Strafe für Gustav Kuhn
Der ehemalige künstlerische Leiter der Tiroler Festspiele Erl, Gustav Kuhn, musste als Geschäftsführer der Winterfestspiele 2017/2018 wegen Übertretung nach dem Ausländerbeschäftigungsgesetz eine Strafzahlung in der Höhe von 177.100 Euro leisten. Laut einem Straferkenntnis der Bezirkshauptmannschaft Kufstein wurden mehr als 80 Ausländer beschäftigt, obwohl für sie keine arbeitsmarktrechtliche Bewilligung vorlag.
Laut Angaben von Kulturlandesrätin Beate Palfrader (ÖVP) stammt der Bescheid aus dem Jahr 2019 und sei bereits beglichen worden. „Es versteht sich von selbst, dass dafür keinerlei öffentliche Gelder verwendet wurden“, so Palfrader, die auch im Stiftungsrat der Tiroler Festspiele sitzt. Für die Begleichung der Strafzahlung, für die auch die Gesellschaft der Tiroler Festspiele Erl haftet, sei aus privater Hand ein Sonderzuschuss gewährleistet worden.
