Two Hungarian sexual predators arrested in the Netherlands: raids carried out at their workplaces
Two Hungarian men wanted for sexual offences have been arrested in the Netherlands, the National Bureau of Investigation (KR NNI) of the Hungarian Rapid Response Police reported on Friday via police.hu.
Hungarian sexual predators detained in the Netherlands
According to the statement, one of the men allegedly engaged in sexual relations on multiple occasions in spring 2021 with a girl under the age of 14, and on several occasions supplied the minor with drugs. The investigation was initiated by the Dunakeszi Police Department. During the proceedings, investigators identified the suspect, who subsequently became untraceable, and his whereabouts could not be determined. Consequently, both domestic and European arrest warrants were issued, as authorities suspected he had fled abroad.
In the other case, the Budapest Police Headquarters conducted an investigation into aggravated human trafficking. Evidence suggested that the man, abusing his position of power and influence, forced a victim in an extremely vulnerable situation to engage in sexual acts over an extended period. This suspect also became untraceable during the investigation, prompting the authorities to issue an arrest warrant and initiate European and international searches.
Arrest made through Dutch-Hungarian cooperation
Investigators in Dunakeszi and Budapest requested assistance from the KR NNI’s targeted search unit to apprehend the fugitives, as evidence indicated both were in the Netherlands. Through the European Network of Fugitive Active Search Teams (ENFAST), Hungarian officers contacted their Dutch counterparts, and through close cooperation, the suspects were located.
Róbert K. was arrested on 23 September in Zwolle by Dutch police, while Ferenc V. was apprehended on 28 September in Beuningen. Both were detained at their workplaces—a restaurant and a shop—when the raids took place. The Dutch courts will decide on the extradition of the two Hungarian fugitives, while the Hungarian National Police will handle their transfer to Hungary.
Charges filed against man in Doboz for child prostitution
The District Prosecutor’s Office in Békéscsaba has filed charges against a 57-year-old man from Doboz, who had no prior criminal record, for three counts of exploiting child prostitution, aggravated disorderly conduct with a firearm, and drink-driving, the Békés County Chief Prosecutor’s Office reported on Friday.
According to the statement, in the second half of 2024, some underage girls in Doboz learned that they could obtain money from the defendant in exchange for sexual contact. Between July and September 2024, the man engaged in sexual relations on several occasions with three girls—aged 14, 16, and 17—who visited him at his home, despite being aware that they were under 18. He paid them varying sums for these encounters.

On 21 July 2024, in the early evening at a pub in Doboz, the man, while intoxicated, became involved in an argument with another man over a previous disagreement. Following mutual insults, he became so enraged that he went home to fetch a gas-alarm pistol. Upon returning, he fired two shots. A plain-clothes police officer present intervened, subdued him, and confiscated the weapon.
Other offenses
Additionally, the man drove a car while under the influence in Doboz in December 2024, for which charges have also been filed. The District Prosecutor’s Office requested in the indictment that, should the suspect admit his guilt, the court keep him in custody until the final verdict is delivered.
The prosecutor also requested that, even in the event of a guilty plea, the court impose a custodial sentence, prohibit him from driving, from holding public office, and from engaging in any occupation or activity involving the care, supervision, or treatment of minors, or any situation in which he could exert power or influence over them. The indictment further states that the suspect will be required to cover nearly HUF 570,000 in investigative costs incurred during the proceedings.
