США могут отменить безвизовый режим с Венгрией
15.05.2018
The US may revoke visa-free travel with Hungary, which would be the first time such measures have been applied to an EU country. This is reported by Euronews.
Earlier, it became known that Washington had uncovered a large-scale fraudulent scheme involving Hungarian passports. In 2011, Budapest significantly simplified the process of obtaining citizenship for ethnic Hungarians living outside Hungary. Over 7 years, about 1 million people received Hungarian passports this way.
It is noted that criminals and fraudsters could have taken advantage of the passport system, and many people who were not entitled to them received Hungarian documents. Washington fears that drug dealers, human traffickers, and terrorists could enter the country under the guise of Hungarians.
US investigators found that at least 60 people who obtained passports illegally managed to enter the US under the visa-waiver program. At the same time, 30 of them still cannot be located and deported back.
The Hungarian Interior Ministry has promised to look into the situation.
