673 suspects arrested at border control

The stricter border controls ordered by the German security authorities in the run-up to the G20 have produced a large by-catch.

The G20 summit was freaked out by serious irregularities. To refuse foreign rioters, the German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière had instructed the police and customs to tighten up surveillance at the Schengen border for a month. It will continue until Tuesday evening. It is not yet known how many potentially violent protesters were arrested or arrested.
