A Hungarian impostor impersonated vice president of World Bank

He promised to make a small settlement in Pest county flourish. To do so, he even wrote a letter in Hungarian (!) to the chair of the World Bank asking for EUR 1 million and co-signed it with the mayor of the village.

Nobody asked questions

According to blikk.hu, not only his decided manner but also his general uniform impressed the local leadership. The middle-aged man, Csaba N. (53),

led the whole village leadership by the nose.

He promised to make the village flourish and amazed everybody from the mayor to the ordinary locals.

When he arrived there first, he claimed that he is the vice president of the World Bank. Everybody believed him, welcomed his ideas and his international network of powerful and wealthy business people. They even entrusted him to supervise and execute an already won EU-project worth hundreds of millions of EUR. Because of that, the village is now in a very awkward and dangerous situation.

Interestingly, Csaba N. not only had a very sophisticated

ability to convince everybody in the settlement

but also used a lot of props to be successful in deceiving them. For example, he had a decorated general uniform about which nobody asked him why the vice president of the World Bank wears something like that.

Police seized the correspondence of the alleged World Bank general from which it became clear that he wrote a letter to the chair of the World Bank to Washington. To make matters worse, Csaba N. wrote the letter in Hungarian (!) to the chairwoman of the World Bank (it has a chairman currently, David Malpass)
