The exact total amount of cannabis is not given: the marijuana on the Hungarian is described as about 100 grams and that on the Austrian only as being in the single-digit gram range.
The 100 grams and five grams are approximate figures, and the marijuana is not described as laboratory-confirmed.
No formal arrest or custody is reported; both were held only for the police measures and then released.
The article gives no specific offences for the Hungarian beyond various offences, although cocaine and banned medicines were also found.
It is not stated exactly where on the line the checks took place beyond near Teisendorf and near Rosenheim, or whether the trains were moving.
No charge under a specific statute, court date, plea or outcome is reported; both cases were at the investigation phase.
The two checks involved different men and trains and are reported together only because the border police announced them in one account.
No value estimate for the cannabis was published.
