Woman with an arrest warrant - entry to Germany almost failed!

On Sunday, a 26-year-old Croatian citizen wanted to enter Memmingen by plane from Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the entry control, the officers came across an arrest warrant from the Deggendorf public prosecutor, which was issued due to an uninterrupted administrative offense, such as the Schwäbische . Fortunately, the woman was able to avert an arrest by paying the amount due to 114 euros. After this payment she was allowed to enter and she was able to continue her trip.
