Federal police execute two arrest warrants during border checkpoint near Saarbrücken
As reported by Kleine Zeitung, federal police apprehended a 49-year-old man on the BAB 6 in the Goldene Bremm area near Saarbrücken on Friday evening last week. The Syrian national, who is resident in France, was stopped as part of reintroduced internal border controls whilst travelling in a car coming from France.
The man was able to produce proper identification and possessed all required entry documents. A search of police wanted-person databases, however, revealed two outstanding arrest warrants: the public prosecutors' offices in Koblenz and Kaiserslautern were searching for him — on account of legally binding convictions for tax evasion and unauthorised departure from the scene of an accident.
Outstanding fines totalling €7,750 were due from both proceedings. As the 49-year-old was unable to pay the outstanding amount, he was arrested on the spot and transferred to Ottweiler prison. There he must now serve a replacement custodial sentence of 135 days in total.
