The Hungarian Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) has cracked down on a criminal organization, and an international arrest warrant has been issued for one of the leaders. One of the suspects may be hiding in Indonesia.
According to the National Anti-Corruption Agency, “a joint-stock company previously listed on the Budapest Stock Exchange was at the top of the criminal organization.” Now, the former CEO of OTT-One is being sought.
The customs office is investigating on suspicion of budget fraud and money laundering, and the leaders of the criminal organization also contracted with Szijjártó's foreign affairs department.
The National Tax and Customs Office has initiated proceedings against companies that supplied ventilators and masks to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade led by Péter Szijjártó. The seriousness of the case is clearly demonstrated by the fact that an international arrest warrant has been issued against one of the company managers involved.
