Legendary actor and filmmaker Arnold Schwarzenegger, 76, was detained at a German airport for allegedly failing to declare a luxury watch he was planning to auction for charity.
After the detention, an investigation for alleged tax evasion was launched as the watch was intended to be sold within the European Union (EU).
According to EU rules, anyone arriving with “cash or certain valuable items” over €10,000 must declare it.
The actor, politician and climate change campaigner was eventually able to pay the tax and allowed to proceed with his journey. Tax officials charged Schwarzenegger €4,000 (approx. KSH. 703,000) in tax and another €5,000 (approx. KSH. 879,000) penalty.
