An estimated USD 15 billion is whitewashed in Hungary annually said László Sors, vice president of national tax and customs authority’s criminal department (NAV). In most cases money laundry conceals tax fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation, and not drug or prostitution related businesses. According to Sors it is important to encourage citizen reports. He explained that dozens of indictment were already launched this year on this field, while last year there were only eight of them. There is a need for a shift of paradigm in order to achieve appropriate results in law enforcement, Sors concluded.
