The Hungarian authorities launched a manhunt against drug dealers on March 1 with a view to eradicating drug trafficking and implementing a zero-tolerance policy towards drug dealers, László Horváth told a press conference.
The government wants to create a legal environment that will make police action quicker, more efficient and effective, and deter drug dealers, he added.
Sándor Töreki, a deputy police chief, said the Hungarian police force has drawn up an action plan dubbed “Delta” to fight drug trafficking.
Péter Batyi, a department head at the Pest County Police Headquarters, said the authorities have recently opened criminal investigations against 20 drug dealers and 80 drug users.
Fully 4 kg of drugs, HUF 7 million in cash and HUF 30 mln (EUR 75,300) worth of valuables have been seized in recent raids, he said.
