Because he did not want to pay a fine of ten euros, a man at Munich Airport now faced a prison sentence.
Munich Airport
-
A
man from Franconia
now had to learn painfully
that one
may have to
expect
arrest
for minor
violations
.
The 51-year-old was on New Years Day (Friday, January 1, 2021) at
Munich Airport
.
There he wanted to fly to Zanzibar in East Africa, with a stopover in Dubai.
But before that, the
Nuremberg man
had to
pass the controls - and the officials there immediately caught the eye.
Munich Airport: imprisonment for a ten euro fine - police arrest man
When going through the
security check
, the federal officials at the airport noticed that an arrest warrant had been issued for the Nuremberg man.
The district court in the central Franconian district capital of
Fürth
had
issued
a
forced
arrest
warrant
for two days' imprisonment
against the
offender
.
Apparently, the man there had received a fine
of
10 euros
last year for
wrong parking
, but vehemently refused to pay it.

The federal police at the airport then arrested the 51-year-old and gave him a choice.
Either he would
pay the fine
on site
or he would have to
serve
the
two days in prison
.
With the imminent
imprisonment
in mind, the arrested man decided
to open
his
wallet
.
In addition to the required
fine, he
also had to hand over
151.21 euros in administrative costs
to the federal police officers before he was allowed to leave the federal police station.
A 45-year-old traffic offender from Neu-Ulm recently had a similar experience.
He was also
suddenly
threatened with
a prison sentence
at Munich Airport
.
A man who was traveling without the mask required due to the corona pandemic also caught the attention of the federal police at Munich Airport - and the officials were amazed.
