Austrian-American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger faced a brief detention at Munich airport after failing to declare a £22,000 Audemars Piguet watch intended for a charity auction.
The Terminator star, promoting his climate crisis charity, encountered tax proceedings, leading to a €35,000 charge.
Despite explaining the watch’s donation to his Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, officials insisted on the customs protocol.
The incident unfolded as Schwarzenegger prepares for an auction supporting climate projects, featuring unique lots like a training session with the actor himself.
The actor, a longtime advocate against pollution and climate change, expressed frustration with bureaucratic obstacles during the airport encounter.
