Dutch detectives trailed him after the meeting and arrested him. He was immediately taken to the Belgian border.

Seventeen Jews were arrested when detectives conducted a series of raids in the Jewish quarter in a hunt for illegal immigrants. All those arrested were found to have no passports and to have slipped into the country at unguarded points along the frontier.
