Another horror weekend in Hungary – people must have gone mad by the lockdown
Change language:
The last week was once again ripe with crime. It might be the lockdown that has been going on for almost another four months now, or it might simply be the direction the world is changing to. Last week a duo of drug dealers used their daughter to help them sell drugs, a family father pulled out a machete and started chasing his son’s birthday guests and lastly, an argument turned into a bloody mess as the man stabbed his partner with a kitchen knife.
Illegal drug trade
The Baranya county Police Headquarters investigated a 31-year-old woman from Pécs and her partner, a 35-year-old man from Enying for drug trafficking
with a new psychoactive substance. According to Bama, the police arrested the pair some time ago, but the investigation was only closed recently. The Pécs Police arranged a coordinated operation to raid the two suspects due to a well-founded suspicion that they are dealing drugs regularly in Pécs.
Investigators conducted a thorough search of the man’s and woman’s apartments, during which they found and seized 100 grams of suspicious plant derivatives, 54 grams of white powder thought to be drugs and have found pills, gels, and nearly half a million HUF (€ 1,400) in cash.
The woman is suspected of endangering a minor, as the police believe that at the request of the mother, her daughter was also selling psychoactive substances to several people.
During the investigation, the police have found another suspect, a 34-year-old man from Pécs, who was later arrested by the police. There is a well-founded suspicion that the man sold marijuana to the woman, who then dealt it to her own customers. Police searched the man’s apartment and have found 52 grams of plant derivatives suspected to be drugs, and a few other suspicious items, such as pills and a digital scale. He was prosecuted for illegal drug trade by the police. After their interrogation, the regional court initiated the arrest of the woman and the two men. The police have handed over the documents to the prosecutor’s office in the last few days.
