Hungary Investigates Seizure of Ukrainian Cash and Gold Under Previous Government
Hungary has initiated an internal investigation into its tax authority, counter-terrorism forces, and other agencies regarding the March seizure of a routine Ukrainian bank cash transport. Seven Ukrainians carrying 82 million euros in cash and gold were briefly detained on suspicion of money laundering during the previous government led by Viktor Orban, who was then in conflict with Kyiv and allied with Russia. The probe aims to review the actions taken under that administration.
