Arnold Schwarzenegger Detained at Munich Airport

Arnold Schwarzenegger was detained by customs officers at the Munich airport on Wednesday for not declaring a luxury watch he was wearing while traveling to Austria, a customs spokesperson confirmed to CBS News.

Schwarzenegger, 76, was detained for three hours at the airport in Germany, a source familiar with the incident told CBS News. The Hollywood star and former California governor was planning on auctioning the watch at his charity auction in Kitzbuhel, Austria on Thursday.

According to a news release, Schwarzenegger is scheduled to appear at an event to raise funds for The Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, which supports climate projects around the globe.

The actor was never asked to fill out a declaration form, the source said, and tried to pay the taxes for the watch at the airport but the credit card machine wasn't working, the source said. Schwarzenegger was then brought to an ATM to withdraw money but the limit was too low, and then the bank was closed, so customs officers finally brought in a credit card machine that worked, the source said.

According to a report by Bild, Arnold Schwarzenegger was detained at Munich airport due to a custom-made watch he was wearing. The luxury Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet had made the watch specifically for Schwarzenegger. The reason for the detention was a possible tax evasion, and a criminal procedure investigation is currently ongoing, as confirmed by a customs spokesperson.
