Train Journey Disruption: Court-ordered Arrest on a Long-Distance Swiss Train by BPOLI-WEIL Authorities

A fugitive wanted for legal proceedings in Germany has been apprehended following his failure to appear for sentencing and pay the resulting fines. On Thursday evening (28.08.2025), the man was apprehended on a long-distance train from Switzerland, after crossing the border in Müllheim, a town in Markgräflerland.

The man, who was previously convicted of theft and negligent bodily harm two years ago, had two outstanding arrest warrants issued by courts due to missed sentencing and unpaid fines totaling 4,200 euros. These warrants led to the issuance of arrest warrants, and the man was eventually found and apprehended in Müllheim.

The apprehension took place in Weil am Rhein, presumably by the Federal Police Inspectorate there. However, the head of the Federal Police Investigative Authority in Weil am Rhein during this period is not publicly available information.

The Federal Police Inspectorate responsible for the apprehension is located in Weil am Rhein, and contact information for the authority can be found at the provided contact details. The man's subsequent remand to the nearest prison indicates that he will now face the consequences of his actions.

This arrest serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to court proceedings and fulfilling financial obligations. The German authorities continue to work diligently to apprehend fugitives and ensure that justice is served.
