BERLIN (AP) -- A plane being used by Thailand's Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn has been impounded in Germany as part of a long-running battle with the Thai government over payments for a building project in Thailand, officials said Wednesday.
The Boeing 737 "Royal Flight" was seized on a court order, and is now being kept at Munich airport, said Robert Wilhelm, a spokesman for the airport.
Vajiralongkorn, the heir to the Thai throne, is an experienced pilot and a frequent visitor to Germany, putting him in the middle of a long-running business dispute between the two countries.
A spokesman for the bankruptcy administrator of German construction firm Walter Bau AG said the plane was seized Tuesday because of the Thai government's refusal to pay eueo30 million ($42 million) it owes the company.
