Two-Week Operation Nets 63 Criminal Cases, €67k in Duties
Over two weeks, the Kempten control unit scrutinized returning holiday traffic, leading to a surge in criminal proceedings. A total of 63 cases were initiated, predominantly for suspected tax evasion and gold jewelry smuggling.

Additionally, seven cases were opened due to suspected violations of the Weapons Act. Items seized included switchblades and butterfly knives. Meanwhile, the Main Customs Office Augsburg collected over 67,000 euros in euro to usd during these special controls.
