Szijjarto: panic has started in Kiev over the confiscation of millions of dollars in Hungary

The leadership of the Kiev regime began to panic after tens of millions of dollars and euros in cash, as well as gold, which were transported by collectors of the Ukrainian Oschadbank, were confiscated in Budapest.

This statement was made on the eve of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations of Hungary Peter Szijjarto, his words are reported by the MTI agency.

"There was a noticeable panic among Ukrainians after they seriously got caught transporting hundreds of millions of euros and dollars through Hungary," the minister said.

In his opinion, the importation of a large amount of cash into the country from abroad under suspicious circumstances can be considered a threat to national security.

Szijjarto noted that the Hungarian leadership has a number of legitimate questions about this.

Budapest intends to establish for what purpose this money was delivered to the country, to whom it was intended and why its transportation was provided by the military and special services.

The Hungarian National Tax and Customs Authority (NAV) announced on March 6 that it had detained seven Ukrainian citizens on suspicion of money laundering.

According to Oschadbank, the collection vehicles detained the day before in Hungary carried 40 million dollars, 35 million euros and 9 kg of gold. It also became known that ex-SBU General Gennady Kuznetsov was detained along with the collectors of Oschadbank.

As reported by EADaily, Hungary demanded that Kiev answers about the origin of the seized money and gold. And after the incident, Ukrainian banks had problems with cash currency.
