January has been quite the month in Hungary regarding successful drug busts. After the country’s largest drug smuggling case only a week ago, here is probably the most expensive cargo that has ever been discovered by the Hungarian police.

The National Bureau of Investigation is currently conducting an investigation against the 36-year-old Krisztián K. and the 37-years-old Sándor S. for dealing with a significant amount of narcotics, writes police.hu.

Furthermore, from the two men together, the investigators confiscated around 66 thousand euros.

The total black market value of all the drugs confiscated almost reaches 700 thousand euros (250 million forints). This is one of the biggest drug busts of the past years.

According to the police, the delivery of the narcotics was supervised by the transfer’s organiser from a safe distance, by a 33-year-old man who managed to escape. In order to capture him, the National Bureau of Investigation asked for the help of TEK (Counter-Terrorism Centre), and they created a police unit on January 29 to execute the mission.

The man, who is still wanted, left the car with which he tried to escape behind. It was later found by the police. An arrest warrant was issued by the police.

His two accomplices were interrogated and detained as suspects; the arrest of Sándor S. was requested together with the police supervision of Krisztián K.
