Police opened two cases for threats to Hungarians

The emails and videos with threats posted on the Web a few days ago are links in a chain, said the head of the National Police.

On Friday, December 4, threatening letters were sent to the email addresses of public organizations of the Hungarian national minority in Transcarpathia. In this sense, the law enforcement officers opened two criminal cases. This was announced by the head of the National Police of Ukraine, Igor Klimenko, according to the press service of the department.

It is noted that in the messages of the citizens of Ukraine of Hungarian origin they demanded to urgently leave the territory of Ukraine, otherwise they will face physical violence.

Regarding the threats, the law enforcement officers initiated two processes: for violation of the equality of citizens according to their race, nationality, religious beliefs, disability and other reasons (part 1 of Article 161 of the Penal Code) and for threat of murder (part 2 of article 129 of the Penal Code). ). The perpetrators face up to five years in prison.

According to Klimenko, the threatening emails and videos posted on the web a few days ago are links in the same chain. The head of the National Police admitted that there is a “foreign trace” in this story.

Recall, previously the SBU conducted searches of the Transcarpathian Hungarian Society, as a result of which it found a series of printed materials that popularized the so-called “Greater Hungary” and the creation of ethnic autonomy in the region.

In this regard, Budapest summoned the Ukrainian ambassador to Hungary Lyubov Nepop and said that he would complain to NATO about the actions of Kiev regarding the Transcarpathian Hungarians.
