Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The train check happened on an unstated Wednesday; 4 November 2026 is inferred as the incident date from the 6 November publication, which describes the check as having occurred two days earlier.
The cannabis weight is described only as just under 17 grams; no exact measured weight was published.
The article does not say where on the Munich–Salzburg line the check took place beyond the area around Freilassing, or whether the train was moving.
The woman's age and Hungarian nationality are reported, but not her name or place of residence.
No charge, court date or outcome was reported; she was released after the police measures and allowed to continue her trip.
The article does not say what the cannabis product was (herbal cannabis or resin) or how it was packaged, so it is recorded as dried flower.
No further police action for suspected driving or other offences under the influence of cannabis is reported, despite the initial indications of influence.
Only one openable account of this event was found, a local paper report based on the police statement; the border police's own press release could not be opened.
