Hungary temporarily detains 7 Ukrainians and seizes $80 million cash shipment, angering Kyiv

Hungarian authorities temporarily detained seven Ukrainian citizens and seized two armored cars carrying tens of millions of euros (dollars) in cash across Hungary on suspicion of money laundering, officials said Friday.

The Ukrainians were released Friday, following their detention on Thursday, but Hungarian officials held onto the cash, prompting Ukraine to accuse Hungary's Russia-friendly government of illegally seizing the money.
