It is being reported that Hungarian authorities have reached a settlement to resolve the prosecution of an individual identified as M.M.
The prosecution was based on importing car parts from Russia, via Belarus, in breach of the EU's sanctions.
The imports are said to have been valued at HUF 35 million (€84,500), and the agreed settlement was for a fine HUF 1 million (€2,400), the confiscation of the imported parts and the payment of legal costs.
This is the first known example of an enforcement action in Hungary.
