The leader of a drug cartel active in the Balkans, a Hungarian national, has been brought back to Hungary after his arrest in Tenerife in August, the National Bureau of Investigation of Hungary’s Rapid Response Police said.
The 32-year-old spent three years in hiding, and was taken straight to prison when his plane landed at Ferihegy International Airport on Wednesday night, police.hu said. He will spend 8 years in prison for drug trafficking, it said.
Investigations are under way in another two cases, where he is suspected to have been part of drug deals as a member of a gang led by Nikolic Andrija between 2019 and 2021, the statement said. That operation was uncovered in March 2021 when EUROPOL and EUROJUST successfully hacked the Sky ECC surface containing information of the Hungarian suspect’s activities including buying and selling at least 13kg of cocaine, 40 litres of amphetamine, 10,000 ecstasy pills and 82kg of marijuana.
Here is a video how he was brought to Hungary:
