An English national has been charged with attempting to smuggle 22 kilograms of heroin into Germany via Hungary, the Csongrád-Csanad county prosecutor’s office said on Monday.
According to the charges, the Englishman tried to smuggle the record-breaking amount of heroin into Hungary from Serbia hidden in stashes under his car seats on January 19.

The man is charged with possession of a “particularly substantial quantity of narcotic drugs”.
