BPOL-TR successfully avoids 60-day detention with a payment of 2,400 euros
In an incident that took place on Monday afternoon, a 38-year-old Syrian national was arrested by the Federal Police Trier on the A60 motorway in Trier, Germany. The arrest was related to a violation of the Weapons Act, specifically the possession of an unlicensed pepper spray.
Upon the arrest, an unlicensed pepper spray was seized. This unlicensed weapon was the specific item involved in the violation of the Weapons Act. The police then initiated a new criminal procedure following the seizure.
Despite paying a fine of €2,400 for an unspecified offense, the Syrian was not immediately arrested. However, the payment of the fine did not affect the ongoing criminal procedure. The Syrian, after paying the fine, resumed his journey, and the location of his continued journey is not specified.
The arrest warrant for the Syrian was issued by the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office. The charges were related to a violation of the Weapons Act, more specifically, possession of an unlicensed firearm.
It's important to note that the search results do not provide information on the name of the head of the Federal Police Inspectorate Trier who was involved in the arrest.
Despite the events that transpired, the Syrian was not charged for the possession of the unlicensed pepper spray after paying the fine. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to the country's weapons laws.
