"BPOLI proposes incarceration over vacation leave"

On Saturday, December 28, 2024, two individuals found themselves in the custody of the German authorities at Leipzig/Halle Airport.

A 31-year-old woman, a Leipzig resident, was arrested following a border control check. Officers discovered an active arrest warrant for the woman, who is suspected of committing a particularly serious case of theft. The woman was subsequently taken to the detention center in Chemnitz.

In a separate incident, a 40-year-old Romanian man was also detained at the airport. The man was unable to pay substitute fines totalling €2,000, which were due to charges of fraud and theft. Courts had sentenced the Romanian individual to this amount in fines. The man did not specify his location.

It is worth noting that the arrests were not directly related. The woman's arrest was the result of her data revealing an active warrant, while the Romanian man's arrest was due to his inability to pay the substitute fines.

In addition to these arrests, the Federal Police at Leipzig/Halle Airport also executed three more arrest warrants on the same day. The identity of the head of the Federal Police Operations Center (Bundespolizei-Einsatzleitstelle) in Leipzig in 2024 was not available in the search results.

The Romanian individual had 13 wanted notices and three arrest warrants outstanding. The Leipzig Local Court had ordered pretrial detention against the woman in November. The woman's arrest warrant was also issued due to her charges of fraud and theft.

The events at Leipzig/Halle Airport serve as a reminder of the ongoing efforts by the German authorities to ensure the safety and security of its borders.
