A flight from Alicante to Hamburg brought a 63-year-old man directly to prison. The Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office had been looking for him since March for tax evasion, as the Federal Police in Hamburg discovered upon his arrival. According to the arrest warrant, he was supposed to pay 110 fines of 100 Euros each. Since he couldn't pay the required 11,000 Euros, the man was taken to the Hamburg Investigative Detention Facility.
