Two Vorarlbergers wanted to fly to Zimbabwe last weekend to hunt water buffalo there. They wanted to take the weapons they needed on the plane. The police put an end to the project.
The planned water buffalo hunt in Africa came to an end last weekend for a trio from Vorarlberg and Germany before they even took off from Munich airport. Two Vorarlbergers (47 and 42) and the 44-year-old German wife of the 47-year-old had packed the three legal hunting rifles well, the German federal police announced on Monday. However, they wanted to travel to Zimbabwe, where arms are not allowed to be exported.
Do not bring weapons into Zimbabwe
“No one could show a special permission. On the contrary, they told the police that it was not deemed necessary,” the officers said. Instead of a new trophy on the wall, the 47-year-old owner of the three double-barreled rifles now has a criminal case after Friday’s incident for violation of the law. the Foreign Trade Ordinance on his neck.
According to Germany’s foreign trade regulation, Zimbabwe is on the embargo list, “meaning in principle no weapons are allowed,” federal police at Munich airport said.
