"Several organised crime groups used this legal business to accommodate smuggled asylum seekers during their transit. Several people smuggling incidents along the Western Balkan route could be linked to this safe house. Two experts from Europol’s European Migrant Smuggling Centre supported Hungarian police on the spot," Europol said in a statement.
Police found cross-border train tickets, plane boarding passes, navigation devices, thousands of euros in cash and a car during the operation, according to the statement.
Two people have been arrested so far, with further arrests expected.
Hungary lies along the Balkan migrant route from Turkey into northern Europe. The route takes mainly Middle Eastern migrants through Greece, the Balkan countries, Hungary and Austria into Germany.
EU authorities have tightened internal movement rules throughout last year amid the unprecedented migrant influx, instead opting for a controlled relocation scheme.
