■ Arnold Schwarzenegger was stopped for hours by customs at Munich Airport after entering Germany with a luxury watch that was potentially to be auctioned at a charity event. The movie star and former California governor was stopped for a routine check after arriving Wednesday, customs spokesperson Thomas Meister said. Schwarzenegger was able to leave after about 2½ hours, he said on Thursday. Goods over the value of $467 that will stay in the European Union have to be declared and, where appropriate, duty paid on them. German daily Bild reported that the allegedly undeclared watch made by Swiss manufacturer Audemars Piguet was valued about $21,739 by Schwarzenegger, for whom it was specially produced. The Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative said Schwarzenegger, 76, was detained “for traveling with a watch he owns, that he might be auctioning at his charity auction [Thursday] in Kitzbuehel,” in neighboring Austria. It added in an emailed statement that Schwarzenegger “cooperated at every step” and he agreed to “prepay potential taxes on the watch (remember, it is his personal watch).” The matter now goes to a customs penalty body in Augsburg, which will evaluate the case.
