#2  That's a lot of lucre from a mere member of parliament of a country not well known for its widespread wealth.

There are now calls for a criminal investigation into border guards at the crossing in the country’s Transcarpathian region, where it is alleged a blind eye has been turned to cash flowing out of the country.

Not sure if Blind Eye is what is going on here. Escorted by 2 Hungarians sounds like they hired, for lack of a better term, coyotes to get them across the border. Somebody didn't get paid, didn't get the memo, or just too damn obvious.
