The G7 summit of the seven main heads of state or government in Schloss Elmau in Bavaria, near the border with Tyrol, at the end of June is casting its shadow. The security measures are enormous. During German border checks at the Mittenwald/Scharnitz border crossing, officials saw a suspicious vehicle on Friday. Due to the intensive control there were huge traffic jams. After about an hour and a half the all-clear was given.
Due to the upcoming G7 summit, the German police are currently carrying out border checks again at numerous border crossings. This also applies to those in the Mittenwald and Scharnitz regions in Tyrol. As a spokesman for the German federal police explained to “Krone”, a suspicious vehicle came into view of officials there on Friday, who were subsequently investigated further. However, the speaker was silent on the exact background.
Everything clear after 1.5 hours
It was only after about an hour and a half that the all-clear could finally be given. “Nothing has been found and there is no danger,” the police spokesman said. Due to the large-scale operation, there were huge traffic jams in the travel. Locally there was no alternative – only a large-scale bypass was possible. “Meanwhile, traffic is running smoothly again,” it sounded in the afternoon.
The G7 summit will take place from June 26 to 28. Due to its proximity to Tyrol, numerous local police officers will also be present. Since Schloss Elmau is only four kilometers from Tyrol at its narrowest point, the Tyrolean director said that during the summit “also in the alpine terrain with reconnaissance and security patrols”. One will “watch” or “activists set up camps in the forest”. The focus is on the districts of Reutte, Innsbruck-Land, the city of Innsbruck and especially the nearby Seefeld Plateau.
