Hungarian tax authority says seven people are detained in Budapest as part of an alleged money laundering probe
The Hungarian tax authority has just confirmed it detained seven people and two cash-in-transit vehicles coming from Austria towards Ukraine, saying it is pursuing criminal proceedings on suspicion of money laundering.
The contents of their transit has also been confirmed as per earlier statement by Ukraine’s state-owned Oschadbank.
But the authority pointedly said that one of the seven men arrested was a former general of the Ukrainian intelligence services, Hungarian media reported.
In a statement quoted by Index.hu, the authority claimed it had informed the Ukrainian consular authorities of the move, but received no response.
