German reports Bild.
According to the newspaper, the 76-year-old arrived by plane from Los Angeles.
In his luggage he had an exclusive wristwatch from the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Audemars Piguet.
The watch will be a unique copy made especially for Schwarzenegger.
Customs is said to have stopped the film star for a routine check.
There they discovered the luxury watch, which Schwarzenegger is said to have brought with him to auction it off at a dinner on Thursday night.
The funds from the auction will reportedly go to finance a climate summit in Kitzbühel in Austria, the country the “Terminator” actor comes from.
According to Bild, the customs seized the watch because Schwarzenegger did not go “on red” at customs upon entry and declare the exclusive goods.
– If goods remain in the EU, you have to pay customs duties and taxes for them. It applies to everyone, says a spokesman for the German customs office to Bild.
They have now initiated criminal proceedings.
– The watch should have been registered because it is an import, says the spokesman.
