The former leader of the now-defunct New Hungarian Guard, which had close connections to the radical nationalist Jobbik party, has been accused by police of organising the trafficking of illegal migrants to the Hungarian capital Budapest. Róbert Kiss and an associate were caught in the act by Hungary’s counter-terror police unit (TEK) in the early hours of Tuesday morning when they were agreeing on the transportation of five Syrian migrants at the settlement of Röszke, on the Serbian border. Kiss was taken to a police station in the nearby city of Szeged and accused of assisting illegal residence in Hungary. Footage shot on the scene by TEK suggests that Kiss and his associate earned thousands of euros from illegally transporting migrants.
