Customs officials reportedly charge actor €35,000 after alleged failure to declare item intended for climate charity auction
Arnold Schwarzenegger was briefly held by customs officers at Munich airport on Wednesday after allegedly failing to declare a €26,000 (£22,000) Audemars Piguet watch the Terminator star was planning to sell at an auction in aid of his climate crisis charity.

When Steven Spielberg makes a movie about something, I’d say it’s pretty well known.
I agree.
