    No they didn’t

    The main customs office in Munich now contradicts this account. As a spokesperson told SPIEGEL, the officials allegedly only tried for 15 minutes to debit the outstanding tax payment from Schwarzenegger’s credit card using a payment device. The transaction then worked with a replacement device. A further payment - a security deposit that the actor had to pay as part of criminal tax proceedings that have now been initiated - could not be paid with the same credit card due to internal security guidelines. Schwarzenegger then went to an ATM - unaccompanied by the authorities. “We were deliberately absent because we didn’t want to cause a stir and sent him into the public area without customs officials,” said the spokesperson. However, the actor returned without any cash. A “different solution” was then found for the outstanding payment of the security deposit.
