Unauthorized Vehicle Operation under Influence and With Concealed Cargo: Driver Accused of Illegally Operating Lorries

On May 26, 2025, a Croatian driver caused a stir at the Bietingen customs office in Germany. The driver, who was behind the wheel of a brand-new Steyr dump truck, failed to declare the vehicle upon entry.

This oversight led to the opening of a tax evasion case by the Main Customs Office Singen. As the truck was not declared, the driver could not pay the necessary duties, resulting in the temporary seizure of the vehicle by the customs office.

The Main Customs Office Singen is the authority responsible for further processing the tax evasion case. For media inquiries related to this incident, Sonja Mรผller, a contact person at the Main Customs Office Singen, can be reached at 07731/ 8205 - 5251 or via email at [email protected]. Additional information about the Main Customs Office Singen can be found on their website, www.zoll.de.

During the inspection at the Bietingen customs office, the driver appeared nervous. A urine test conducted on the driver tested positive for cannabis, leading to a subsequent hospital visit for a blood test.

In addition to the tax evasion case, the local police were called in on suspicion of driving without a license and driving under the influence. The Singen police station is now in charge of investigating these offenses.

The driver was found to have a driving ban in Germany due to excessive drug consumption. A blood test at the hospital confirmed the initial positive cannabis test.

It is important to note that the current head of the Hauptzollstelle (main customs office) Singen is not explicitly named in the available search results, so the specific person responsible for informing about the tax evasion case involving the Croatian driver's undeclared Steyr truck cannot be identified from these sources.

For further inquiries, the Main Customs Office Singen can be contacted at Sonja Mรผller, Telephone: 07731/ 8205 - 5251, Email: [email protected], and website: www.zoll.de. The Singen police station can be reached for information regarding the driving offenses.
