Other companies involved are the related concerns BS Mix and BS Meat, the latter currently under liquidation.
Public catering supplier BS Mix generated a Ft 40 million profit after taxes on Ft 3.7 billion of revenues in 2013.
Figyelõ reported that the head of a Tatabánya group engaged in the fraud is a former CEO of meat factory Bakony Hús, which was taken over by Felcsút mayor Lõrinc Mészáros.
