A 33-year-old Czech man was stopped by Bavarian police near the border with the Czech Republic for driving without a valid driver's license. During the inspection, police found approximately 850,000 euros in cash in his car. The money was seized pending clarification of its origin, as the amount exceeds the European Union threshold requiring declaration during cross-border transport. The Czech Customs Administration noted that amounts over 15,000 euros must be declared when moving within the EU, and over 10,000 euros when leaving the EU.
