What a waste of time. Imagine it’s your job to write articles off this trifling bullshit.
Why is this still in the news cycle? How is this news?
1, Arnold Schwarzenegger is an unknown personality in Munich. It’s either that or they don’t care.
- Carrying watches and jewelry between countries is great for money laundering until you get caught.
It is a thing that happened that some people will click on.
It get people clicking and commenting
“Sir, have you declared this watch?”
“Two weeks. Twooo weeeks!”
Rich and famous people always act shocked when the rules apply to them as well…
I disagree in this case, he tried to pay and he had to hunt down 2 different ATMs because the Customs office couldn’t accept his credit card.
But he was detained and fined due to not declaring the watch. Likely he hadn’t opened his credit card to that kind of spend on another continent, or he had an Amex which tends to work poorly in many different places in Europe. I’m also sure he could’ve gotten an invoice as well but likely just wanted it sorted out directly.

You’re wrong. The card reader was not working, the ATM had too low of a limit and the bank was closed. When they brought in a new card reader he was able to pay.

If you can’t pay the tax directly you have 10 days to make payment but the item is held until that payment is made. Since it was bound for an auction that wouldn’t work in this case. Not to mention payment was attempted and the issue was on the side of the customs office.
