The actor and former governor of California,
Arnold Schwarzenegger
, found himself in a new scandal after he was detained and arrested at the airport in Los Angeles, when he was on his way to participate in the world climate summit conference held in the Austrian town of Kitzbühel.
The star was held for several hours by the workers at the customs inspection in the field and questioned because of a watch from the luxury brand Audemars Piguet, a company that produces only 45,000 watches a year.
The watch on which Schwarzenegger, which he apparently forgot to declare before all the rush, was created especially in honor of the star, is scheduled to be auctioned today and its proceeds will be donated to the fulfillment of the goals of the summit.
"He cooperated all the way through even though it was fraught with problems, a complete comedy of errors that could one day be a great movie," a source close to the actor told CNN and elaborated: "He agreed to pay in advance any tax that would be imposed on the watch and the police failed to charge his ticket for An hour until they gave up and took him to the bank to withdraw the amount from an ATM."

"The problem is that they brought him to an ATM with a withdrawal limit that was too low and the bank was already closed. When they returned, a new policeman arrived and brought them a new machine with which they finally managed to charge his card," the close source concluded with amusement.
