Hungary officials ‘gave Ukrainian forced injection’ after raid on bank vehicles

Hungarian anti-terrorism police (TEK) detained seven Ukrainians from Oschadbank on March 5th, who were escorting armored vehicles carrying cash and gold bars from Vienna to Ukraine. While Hungary claims the funds were for the "Ukrainian war mafia," Kyiv asserts it was a regular transfer of state funds. One of the detainees, a former Ukrainian security service employee, was allegedly given a forced injection while in custody, believed to be a relaxant intended to induce talkativeness. The injection reportedly caused the diabetic man to have a hypertensive crisis and lose consciousness, requiring hospitalization. A Hungarian lawyer confirmed an injection of unknown contents was administered despite objections, and blood tests allegedly revealed traces of a similar drug class. Hungarian authorities have not commented on the specific allegations.
