🇷🇺🇩🇪 Bundestag deputy reported illegal confiscation of transit cars from Russians in Germany
Member of the Bundestag from the Alternative for Germany party and co-founder of VADAR Evgeny Schmidt addressed his compatriots, Russian citizens living in Germany, in connection with the widespread cases of misuse of anti-Russian sanctions against ordinary citizens by the authorities.
💬 “Quite unexpectedly, just a few days ago, customs officials began to confiscate vehicles and initiate criminal cases against Russian citizens using the territory of Germany for transit to other Schengen countries. They refer to the 2014 sanctions provision, which prohibits the import of a number of luxury goods from the Russian Federation. In addition, according to the latest data, officials began to confiscate vehicles with Russian license plates from Russian citizens living for permanent residence in Germany. We still have to find out the reason for this surge in the official zeal of customs officers and their alternative interpretation of European sanctions,” the parliamentarian says in his appeal.
❗️ Association VADAR and Evgeny Schmidt sent a parliamentary request to the government in order to establish the legality of such actions on the part of customs and called on Russian citizens to refrain from using German territory as a transit state in the near future: “Unfortunately, another surge of Russophobia emanating from the high offices of the German government is again hitting innocent people."
