On December 19, the removal of oily aquatic vegetation and contaminated sludge from the site began.

János Nagy, the mayor of Szigetszentmiklós, announced this week that the police were able to reduce the number of possible perpetrators after analyzing the camera footage and informing residents.

The mayor also reported that civilians have so far collected more than 10 million forints in tracing fees to find the unknown perpetrator, and the police have offered another two million forints to help catch the perpetrator or perpetrators.

According to locals, material from probably damaged oil tanks has been seeping out of the ground in Csepel for a long time. The General Directorate of Water was informed that the level of contamination was so small that it could not be detected. Although the problem has been around for a long time, as the board is not an authority, they say they cannot take action either.
