Passenger arrested at Memmingen Airport after suspected theft
On Thursday, June 21, 2025, the border police struck again at Memmingen Airport. That day, two men had the bitter experience that their journeys led in a different direction - namely to imprisonment. During a stop, the officers executed two open arrest warrants, which turned the cargo of holiday joy into a legal nightmare.
A 23-year-old man wanted to fly from Memmingen to Belgrade in Serbia, but there was an arrest warrant against him for particularly serious theft from an authority in Lower Saxony. Instead of starting his journey, he was arrested and immediately brought before a responsible judge Swabian newspaper reported.
Berlin air for the 35-year-old
A 35-year-old man from Skopje, North Macedonia was luckier. He wanted to enter Germany, but was also faced with an arrest warrant that had been issued in Bavaria for driving without a license. However, he was able to avoid the arrest warrant by paying a security deposit of around 600 euros and continue his journey. A happy ending for him, despite the previous excitement.
The airport has kept its eyes open in recent weeks. During the Whitsun holidays, border police deployment was increased to ensure that legal requirements were adhered to. In fact, other people were stopped during the same period: A 37-year-old man from Moldova was turned away because he could not provide plausible information about his stay in Germany and did not have sufficient financial resources. He had to take the next flight back to Moldova.
The numbers speak volumes
The general challenges at the German borders cannot be dismissed. Since September 16, 2024, systematic controls have been introduced at all German national borders. Loud daily news Since then, over 22,243 unauthorized entries have been detected and 3,306 open arrest warrants have been executed. This approach aims to effectively limit irregular migration and ensure public safety.
The checks also resulted in discoveries from extremist milieus. This shows that checking travelers at German borders is not only a question of security, but also an important tool for combating crime. The measures, including at well-known crossings such as France, Belgium and other neighboring countries, have already led to a reduction in unauthorized entries.
So it remains to be seen how the situation at the borders will develop. The border police at Memmingen Airport have demonstrated a good knack for controlling illegal entries and the execution of arrest warrants, thereby contributing to security in Germany.
Overall, it is clear that the challenges in migration policy will remain relevant in the future and that the authorities will be required to constantly respond to possible risks.
