10:48 GMT 06.03.2026 (Updated: 13:09 GMT 06.03.2026) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Hungary is demanding answers from Ukraine over the movement of cash across its territory, while simultaneously launching its own investigation, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced on Friday.
Earlier in the day, Hungary's national tax and customs office said it had detained seven Ukrainian citizens on suspicion of money laundering, including a former general of the Ukrainian special services responsible for transporting $40 million, 35 million euros and nine kilograms of gold from Austria to Ukraine.
"We demand an explanation of why Ukrainians have been transporting such a large amount of cash through Hungary in recent months. What are they using this money for, whose money is it?.. We demand immediate answers and explanations from the Ukrainian side on these serious issues," Hungarian FM Szijjarto said, as quoted by the MTI news agency.
Since January 2026 a total of $900 million, 420 million euros and 146 kilograms of gold has been transported through Hungary to Ukraine, Szijjarto added.
