Steel rod and CHF 30,000: Customs discovers a family trip in the Black Forest!

A 41-year-old woman from the Czech Republic caused excitement at customs in Blumberg when she was caught in her handbag and a forbidden steel rod on a family outing into the Black Forest. The Singen control service found that it exceeded the cash limit of 10,000 euros significantly - around 31,500 euros were not registered, which violated the customs regulations.

The steel rod, which is classified as a impact weapon, is illegal according to German weapons law. Press spokeswoman Sonja Müller explained the legal situation and confirmed that criminal proceedings against the woman were initiated and the responsible criminal and fine of the main customs office Karlsruhe was informed. The investigation was forwarded to the public prosecutor because of the violation of the weapons law. The regulations on cash registration apply strictly, whereby the unauthorized possession of cannabis will continue to remain in the future, since the import is still prohibited.
