The Chancellor (Scholz) came to Frankfurt yesterday (flying in).
At the conclusion of this visit to the ECB (downtown), the security detail (several vehicles) were taking the Chancellor back to the airport where he'd fly out.
Apparently, some guy (yet to be identified) figured out the Chancellor's entourage, and got himself into the tail-end of this group (in his own vehicle).
So as the vehicles approached the security gate at the airport....they were just 'waved-in'. The end-vehicle....not really part of the entourage....simply joined the group of vehicles, and were led out to the tarmac, where the plane sat.
Scholz exiting his car.....now had this non-entourage guy to walk up and give him a hug....before the security guys really realized what was going on.
There might have been some words spoken but no one says much over this 20-second 'moment'.
Cops? Well...they arrested the guy.
Charges? Entering a secure area like the airport will get you a charge. Beyond that? Hugging the Chancellor? I don't think they have a law fitting that situation.
Who was the guy? Unknown. Local media hasn't said much, and the public TV folks are avoiding his identification.
When the court event comes up? Well....it wouldn't surprise me if the guy got up and offered to hug the judge or his police-handlers. They may need to send him off for a mental-eval.....over too much hugging.
