Legal procedures were initiated against five people on charges of public document forgery and against 13 people on charges of human trafficking, the press office reportedly said.
Growing numbers of refugees have been arriving in Hungary over the past couple of days, as new, stricter border laws take effect today – presumably making it more difficult for refugees to enter Hungary, and in turn the European Union.
