A 74-year-old Armenian woman was arrested by the Authorities of Munich airport in Germany after human bones were found in her luggage. German federal police said on Tuesday.
After examining the contents of a wooden box in the woman's luggage, airport officials found the human's remains. They then called in customs officers, a doctor, and a public prosecutor for further questioning.
Police investigations revealed that the woman was trying to fly the bones of her deceased husband from her home in Greece to be laid to rest in their native Armenia, with flight stopovers in Munich and Kyiv before the final destination. The woman was accompanied by her 52-year-old daughter.
Documents show that the woman's husband had died since 2008 and was buried near their home in Thessaloniki in Greece.
Federal authorities determined that the transfer of human remains was lawful. The public prosecutor also found no grounds for a criminal investigation.
The mother and daughter were released and permitted to continue on their journey, taking the bones with them.
