Federal Police carry out multiple arrests at Reitzenhain border crossing, as per warrants issued by BPOLI C (a German prosecutor's office)
On August 15, 2025, a series of incidents involving foreign nationals at German border crossings made headlines.
At the border crossing in Reitzenhain, three individuals were checked by the Federal Police Inspectorate. A 24-year-old Romanian was stopped at 10:00, and an arrest warrant for an offense against the Weapons Act was outstanding against him. However, a friend in Augsburg paid a fine of over 3700,00 EUR, allowing the Romanian national to enter the federal territory.
Later in the day, at 15:50, a Polish national was checked by the same inspectorate, and an open arrest warrant for burglary was outstanding against him. The Polish national was taken to the detention center in Dresden, where he has a prison sentence of one year and four months to serve.
Earlier in the morning, at 08:45, a Bulgarian was also checked by the Federal Police Inspectorate Chemnitz at the border crossing in Reitzenhain. An open arrest warrant for fraud was outstanding against him. Despite this, a brother-in-law paid a fine of over 1400,00 EUR in Erfurt, which allowed the Bulgarian to continue his journey.
It's worth noting that search results do not provide information about a 31-year-old Bulgarian or a warrant issued by a prosecution authority related to the border control in Reitzenhain on August 15, 2025.
In a separate incident, according to the warrant from the Public Prosecutor's Office in Weiden, a fine of 600,00 EUR was outstanding for an individual, but further details about this case are not available.
These incidents highlight the complexities and challenges of border control and the judicial system, particularly in an increasingly globalised world. The German authorities continue to work diligently to maintain security and uphold the law, ensuring the safety of its citizens and visitors.
