Federal police arrest criminals in Emmerich with an arrest warrant!
On Thursday afternoon, October 18, 2024, the federal police carried out a routine check at Emmerich train station, which turned out to be crucial. A 32-year-old stateless person who arrived from the Netherlands on an ICE was checked. When his personal details were checked, it became apparent that there were two arrest warrants against him that had been issued by the public prosecutor in Flensburg for theft.
The man apparently knew nothing about the legal consequences that awaited him. He had the choice between paying a fine of 2,310 euros and a 77-day prison sentence. Since he was unable to make the required payment, he was immediately arrested by the federal police. After a short period of processing at the Kleve Federal Police Station, he was taken to the Duisburg-Hamborn Correctional Facility to begin his prison sentence.
Background of the control
The Federal Police have introduced temporary border controls at the Schengen internal land borders since September 16, 2024. These measures are not only limited to the actual border, but also take into account a 30 kilometer border area. The measures aim to combat cross-border crime and increase the feeling of security. Through a combination of uniformed and civilian operations, the Federal Police tries to identify possible escape movements of criminals at an early stage and to keep the search pressure high.
The Federal Minister of the Interior and Homeland has ordered these measures in order to respond to current security policy challenges. The focus is on crimes that could be encouraged by the open border between the Schengen countries. This incident at Emmerich train station is an example of how these controls are carried out in practice and the immediate impact they can have on the people affected.
The Federal Police is thus sending a clear signal in the fight against crime and in enforcing the rule of law. These strict controls are necessary to maintain security and order, especially at a time when mobility and international travel opportunities are constantly increasing. Details about this incident are still sparse, however reports www.presseportal.de that the Federal Police will continue to take decisive action against criminals who want to hide behind freedom of travel.
