Border controls in Goch: Searched Romanian escapes prison sentence!

On June 11, 2025, the federal police once again carried out border controls on Autobahn 57 near Goch and checked a van that came from the Netherlands. During the review, the officials discovered that a 47-year-old passenger from Romania was sought by the Essen public prosecutor with arrest warrant. The suspect had previously been convicted by the Gladbeck District Court for negligent frenzy.

In order to escape the impending imprisonment of 33 days, the Romanian immediately paid the due fine of 500 euros. This saved him the prison sentence that threatened him through the legal provisions. The border controls continue to show how seriously the police take to combat offenders at the limits.
