The authorities at Munich airport in Germany detained the famous American actor Arnold Schwarzenegger (76 years old) for some time because he had not reported a luxury watch he was in possession of.

The representative told the German newspaper that he had tried to explain to customs officials that the watch would be auctioned for charity, but to no avail.
The American website TMZ, citing sources, states that the famous actor was detained for three hours and was not asked to fill out a form, but as soon as he arrived at customs he was subjected to a thorough check.
The actor made no noise and agreed to pay fees in advance every hour to pass through the airport. He tried to pay by credit card for an hour, but the withdrawal process was not completed, so customs officials took him to a bank so he could withdraw money from the ATM, according to the US site.
