Massive Tax Fraud Uncovered at Hungary's Nagybani Market: 21 Arrests Made

Hungarian authorities have launched a major investigation into a multi-billion-forint tax fraud scheme at the Nagybani Market, resulting in numerous arrests and the seizure of large sums of cash. The National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV) conducted a series of raids, targeting individuals suspected of involvement in a sophisticated tax evasion operation. "This is one of the largest tax fraud investigations we've undertaken in recent years," said a spokesperson for the NAV, who declined to be named. The investigation has revealed a complex network of individuals and businesses allegedly engaged in systematic tax evasion. Among those arrested is a known figure with alleged links to organized crime. A former associate, who was granted immunity, provided crucial testimony against the suspect, describing the operation in detail. The scale of the fraud is staggering, with millions of forints in unpaid taxes, and the investigation is ongoing. Authorities are confident that this operation will send a strong message to those considering similar crimes.
