According to the indictment, Rohác, a Slovak national, shot publisher János Feny dead on Margit utca in the Second District in February 1998.

In the other case Rohác was allegedly commissioned by second defendant Tamás Portik to kill entrepreneur Károly József Boros, who had made an incriminating confession regarding Portik and associates.

A bomb set off by remote control killed Boros and three bystanders on Aranykéz utca in downtown Budapest in July 1998.

Rohác was detained in Slovakia in February 2011 based on a European arrest warrant, and later extradited to Hungary. He has been in custody since then.
