Arnie held over watch EU import

The actor, 76, was held under German tax laws after flying in from LA yesterday, with “criminal proceedings” launched.

The Austria-born Terminator star aimed to add the Swiss Audemars Piguet watch to a charity auction in Kitzbühel, Austria today, it is said.

He was freed after an interrogation of several hours that reportedly left him irritable, while investigations continued.

The Munich Main Customs Office said: “If the goods remain in the EU, you have to declare them through customs.”
