Because he is said to have received a weapon from an arms dealer without payment, the Güstrow district court has issued a penalty order of 13,500 euros against the former Interior Minister of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lorenz Caffier (CDU).
This sum corresponds to 45 daily rates of 300 euros, as the director of the court, Andreas Millat, said on Monday.
Caffier is accused of taking advantage in two cases by the Rostock public prosecutor's office.
Güstrow / Schwerin - He is said to have received a semi-automatic handgun worth around 800 euros from the arms dealer free of charge in January 2018.
He is also said to have taken part in free shooting training for instruction, and the ammunition for it was also given to him.

Caffier himself said at the request of the German press agency that he would not comment on the process.
His lawyer could not be reached at first.
