A company owned by a friend of Orbán transported money intended for Ukraine through Hungary for years, and this was no secret to the authorities

The text discusses the cash logistics company Criterion, owned by István Garancsi, which has been transporting money from Austria to Ukraine since the 2022 war outbreak. Hungarian authorities were aware of these operations, which were deemed legal by involved banks. However, recent seizures of cash shipments by Hungarian authorities have raised questions about the legality and motivations behind these actions, amidst ongoing political tensions between Hungary and Ukraine.
