Recently, Ukrainian sources reported that Hungarian special police administered a forced injection to one of several Ukrainians who were detained during a police operation in March. This operation targeted a bank transport involving seven Ukrainian employees of Oschadbank, who were transiting through Hungary while transporting gold and cash from Austria to Ukraine. While Ukrainian officials claimed this was a standard transfer of state assets, Hungarian authorities interpreted it as suspected funding for a "Ukrainian war mafia," although they did not provide further details to support this assertion.

On March 5, the counter-terrorism police unit TEK apprehended the Ukrainian nationals, holding them in custody for over a day before deporting them back to Ukraine. During their detention, one individual, previously employed by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU), was reportedly forcibly injected. Ukrainian sources suggested that the drug administered was likely a sedative aimed at increasing the likelihood that the detainee would comply with authorities, raising significant ethical and legal questions regarding the treatment of detainees in such operations.

This incident not only highlights the strained relations between Ukraine and Hungary amid the conflict involving Russia but also raises broader issues concerning human rights practices within law enforcement in Hungary. The use of forced medical procedures without consent can lead to serious violations of human rights and could spark international condemnation if proven, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in such operations.
