According to a number of Hungarian media reports, the Hungarian anti-terrorist special forces recently cracked and arrested a group of armed conspirators who attempted to violently overthrow state power in 10 locations across the country, and the members were all Scythians in Hungary.
Members of the group came to the attention of the police because of a video they shared on social media last November. In the video, they announced that they would take over state power, talked about the creation of "Scythian Hungary" and the arming of the "National Freedom Army".
The gist of the populist program they invented was to arrest all current and former government officials.
After the video was released, the police launched an investigation into him for "conspiracy to violently change the constitutional order."
At dawn on Tuesday, 150 anti-terrorist police officers simultaneously raided 10 locations in Vesprém, Pest, Zola, Bachikiskón and Budapest, finding pistols, ammunition, AK assault rifles, gas and sirens, rubber bullets and air guns.
Police arrested 11 people, interrogated seven men and one woman, and detained three men (aged 43, 68 and 88). Among the confiscated items were various documents denying the existence of the Hungarian state and documents related to the organization of Szkíta Magyarország.
Investigators also found documents issued by the organization to its members. These include identity cards, traffic permits, and even documents proving diplomatic immunity. Police also confiscated IT equipment and electronic data of members of the group to obtain more evidence.
According to media reports, the Hungarian Scythians recently tried to declare themselves an official minority, but the Hungarian parliament did not support it. Sándor Sz., the "ruler" of the group, is the oldest member of the group, and he lives with his wife in Watts. This person also heads another organization, the purpose of which is "the unification of our country and nation, the restoration of historical Hungary, and the only Constitution of the Holy Crown that is currently in force."
Sándor's wife told the media that she has been married to Sandor for 20 years and is a Pole who grew up in Russia. Her husband's blood pressure rose sharply when he was arrested and he had to be taken to the hospital, while the police kept guarding his room.
