Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar has ordered an investigation into the controversy surrounding Ukrainian cash-in-transit personnel and Oschadbank vehicles that were detained in Hungary in March.
Magyar announced the decision in a post on X, according to Ukrinform.
Demanding answers from the Prosecutor General, Magyar stated: “We have ordered an immediate internal investigation at the National Tax and Customs Administration, the Counter Terrorism Centre, and the other relevant authorities in connection with the Ukrainian ‘gold convoy’ case.”
He also called on the Prosecutor General to issue a public statement on the matter without delay.
As previously reported by Ukrinform, on the night of March 6, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that Hungarian authorities in Budapest had effectively taken hostage seven Ukrainian citizens – employes of Oschadbank – and seized the funds they were transporting.
