Three arrests at Memmingen Airport: fraud, unauthorized stay!

Memmingen, Deutschland - At Memmingen Airport, border guards carried out several arrests on June 14, 2025. A 33-year-old Dutch woman who had flown from London to Memmingen was arrested when an arrest warrant from the Landshut public prosecutor's office was found for fraud from 2022. Since she was unable to pay a fine in the high four-digit range, she was instructed to the Memmingen correctional facility, as Schwäbische.de

But that was not all: On the same day, the border police discovered two other cases of unauthorized stay. A 24-year-old Albanian crossed her allowed stay by eight days. This was registered with the exit control, and criminal proceedings are now underway against them. Good for her: she was able to take the flight to Tirana after paying a security deposit in the three -digit range.

illegal stay and criminal proceedings

much more serious fared a 27-year-old Serbs who was illegally in Germany for 90 days. Despite an existing ban on residence, criminal proceedings are now being initiated against the residence law against him. The authorities then monitor his departure to NIS in Serbia.

These incidents put a light on the challenges of cross -border law enforcement and the need for effective cooperation between the European countries. The European arrest warrant (EUHB) plays a central role in enables judicial authorities to apply for the arrest of a person in another EU country. This primarily affects more serious crimes that are threatened in the exhibiting country with at least three years of imprisonment, such as e-justice.europa.eu explained in detail.

European arrest warrant: an effective instrument

The EUHB is based on the principle of mutual recognition of judicial decisions and applies in all EU countries. One of the advantages is that the legal framework no longer has to be checked, which significantly simplifies delivery and law enforcement. However, those affected also have rights that must be preserved, including the right to a lawyer and interpreter and the right to information about the allegations raised against them. According to mcintire.eu , a decision on the enforcement of the arrest warrant must be made within 60 days after the arrest. If the data subject agrees to the handover, this period is shortened to ten days.

So far, the EHB has contributed to strengthening security within the European Union and promoting cooperation between the judicial authorities. But there are also challenges: In recent years, for example, the enforcement of an EUHB has been delayed or rejected in several cases because of the risk of a violation of fundamental rights. These aspects are of great importance when it comes to ensuring trust between the Member States and the protection of human rights.
