The Hungarian Customs and Finance Guard has recovered or accounted for 

some USD 1.5m stolen from a foreign financial institution in an attack 

by hackers as the money was laundered by a ring that included Hungarian 

citizens, the guard told MTI on Wednesday.



The money launderers transferred the money to bank accounts in Hungary 

and the accounts of off-shore companies. In the course of the 

investigation, they withdrew more than HUF 70m - or USD 500,000 - of the 

money in cash, the guard said.



The guard issued arrest warrants for three Hungarian citizens as a 

result of the investigation.
