According to Tibor Ibolya’s announcement, the 33-year-old began operating a network of companies engaged in trucking activities in 2014, in part using stromans. There were companies that owned trucks, those that took over the operation of the trucks and effectively carried out the transportation, as well as those that assumed the value of transportation instead of the transportation companies as contracting parties.

With this they achieved that the companies that actually did the transport had no income, no assets, only the trucks operated. Employees were also reported to transportation companies for which public charges were not paid, nor were motor vehicle tolls settled or fines for non-payment of tolls, he explained.

He wrote: Financial investigators with the National Tax and Customs Administration conducted investigations at 35 locations during a concerted action Tuesday. Accounting materials, e-mail, sums in Hungarian bank accounts, 55 trucks, two luxury vehicles were seized, and property and accounts receivable totaling approximately HUF 300 million were seized.

The tax authority interrogated the man as a suspect on suspicion of budget fraud, which caused a particularly significant financial disadvantage, and on suspicion of multiple falsification of public documents as an instigator, and he was arrested by the court for a month. The other ten suspects involved in the case are defending themselves on parole, according to the statement.
