The wristwatch that Arnold Schwarzenegger was arrested for at Munich airport, because he did not declare it, raised 270,000 euros (about $294,000) after it was auctioned at a dinner in Austria for the actor’s charity, the Climate Initiative. Schwarzenegger.
The event, which raised 1.31 million euros in total, was attended by the United States climate envoy, John Kerry, along with many other visionaries of climate action. Unique pieces of art and jewelry were also auctioned.
“Amid the current fight against pollution, I am also witness to the progress that has been made. We have come a long way. Today, many people are here to be part of the solution,” Schwarzenegger said during the dinner.
“I extend my gratitude to everyone who has joined my fight against pollution,” he added.
Schwarzenegger faces criminal prosecution for failing to declare the Audemars Piguet watch to customs officials in Munich after disembarking a flight from Los Angeles, a press official at the city’s customs told CNN on Wednesday.
“He did not declare any products. A product that was imported from countries outside the European Union to remain in the EU. And this process applies to everyone,” said press officer Thomas Meister.
Meister said the former California governor and “Terminator” star was released and continued his trip after being held for more than two hours.
The actor agreed to pay any taxes in advance during the service, but the credit card machine the agents brought didn’t work even though they tried for an hour, so they gave up and took him to a bank and asked him to withdraw cash from an ATM, a source close to the actor told CNN.
The ATM they took him to had a limit too low and the bank was closed.
When he returned, a new agent brought in another credit card machine that worked, the source added.
