Wallet found: Braunschweiger avoids imprisonment by paying his father!
An exciting drama at Magdeburg main station: A 31-year-old man from Braunschweig, who lost his wallet on June 17th, experienced an unexpected turn of events. The wallet fell into the hands of a finder in the smoking area of the train station, who handed it over to the federal police at 4:30 p.m. When the man's identity was checked, it turned out that there was an arrest warrant against him from the Braunschweig public prosecutor's office News38 reported. The reason for this arrest warrant was an ignored fine of 1,950 euros for insult.
But that wasn't all: There was also an asset recovery order from Hanover, which dates back to a theft in December 2024. The wanted man was on his way back to Braunschweig when the federal police checked his personal details. So it happened that he was arrested at Braunschweig train station. This arrest took place on Tuesday, June 18th, and the Hanover Federal Police Inspectorate quickly established the background that led to the arrest warrant.
Father intervenes
After his arrest, the man was informed of the arrest warrant and immediately contacted his father. He showed a good hand and transferred the outstanding sum of 1,950 euros to avoid imprisonment. This meant that the man was initially saved from a possible prison sentence, which could alternatively be 65 days if he did not pay the fine. The arrest warrant had already been issued in February 2025 after the man either did not pay or did not take up custody Regional Today reported.
In addition to the fine, the federal police check was so thorough that the 161.13 euros found in the wallet were also confiscated. This sum is now used to confiscate assets, which is a central goal of criminal policy. The idea behind this is to confiscate illegally obtained assets from perpetrators, as is the case on the website LKA Lower Saxony is underlined. Asset recovery measures are one of the three pillars of the fight against crime and aim to confiscate ill-gotten gains.
Overall, this incident highlights how important it is to respond quickly to legal problems. The father's intervention shows that family support can be worth its weight in gold in difficult times. Ultimately, all arrest warrants were executed and the outstanding claims were settled, which was reported by the Braunschweig Federal Police.
