According to the Attorney General’s statement, motorists on the Lébény motorway detained foreign truck and tour bus drivers for inspection and only let them in for a fee.

They were asked for money for their advancement or, in the event of irregularities, to avoid prosecution. The patrols mainly detained Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Romanian vehicles, apparently overweight and, depending on the scope of the offense, released them for an amount between 20 and 50 euros without taking the necessary measures.
