Arnold Schwarzenegger was fined and prosecuted.

“We have instituted criminal proceedings in accordance with our tax laws. The watch had to be registered because it is a high-value import,” commented Thomas Meister, spokesman for Munich’s main customs office. – ‘If the goods stay in the EU, you have to declare them. This applies to everyone, regardless of whether their name is Schwarzenegger or Müller, Meyer or Huber”

Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to pay the full amount with his credit card, but he was not allowed to do so as German law requires 50 per cent of customs duties to be paid in cash, so a law enforcement representative escorted the actor to the bank so he could collect the money.
