Aim: The aim of this case study is to present a money laundering investigation that started in 2018 and was successfully completed, which will help to draw attention to the so-called "account takeover fraud", which is increasingly becoming a focus of economic law enforcement in Hungary.
Methodology: This study is based solely on the experience of the Rapid Response and Special Police Service's National Bureau of Investigation's Office of Asset Recovery and the facts and data gathered during the processing of the case.
Findings: In the author's view, the reader will be able to draw the same conclusion as the author that the Hungarian criminal investigation services are capable of conducting complex investigations with significant damage recovery.
Value: More advanced criminal cooperation is needed to tackle the higher reaches of transnational criminal organisations, and to strengthen it to achieve its objectives more effectively.
