Schwarzenegger held at Munich Airport

Hollywood action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger was held at Munich Airport on Wednesday for failing to declare an expensive watch, a customs spokesman told Agence France-Presse. The Austrian-born actor and former California governor, 76, was detained in the customs area on Wednesday afternoon after arriving from the United States, spokesman Thomas Meister said. Schwarzenegger was expected to be able to continue his journey later in the day, but "the watch will probably have to stay", Meister said. Criminal proceedings were initiated against the Terminator star and former bodybuilding icon for tax evasion, he said.
