Hungarian man caught with millions of euros in cash
According to Portfolio, the Hungarian national was heading towards the Austrian border when he was stopped for a routine check. During the vehicle search, local authorities found bundles of euros hidden in various parts of the car. The total sum was seven figures. A spokesperson for the local police headquarters said it was the largest amount seized in Lower Bavaria in the last few years.
The Hungarian driver was unable to prove the origins of the cash. Police therefore launched an investigation against him for money laundering. The court also ordered his pre-trial detention. Both the money and the car were seized during the procedure.
