Hungarian customs police discovered cocaine, methamphetamine and a large amount of cash on a Greek bus at the southern border of Röszke, the tax and customs authority (NAV) said.

Inspectors searched the vehicle and luggage, finding 56,000 euros stashed in a false compartment of a suitcase as well as three bricks of drugs and four bags, with tests confirming that the packages contained a total of 1,200 grammes of cocaine and 560 grammes of methamphetamine, the statement said.

The authorities have raised charges against a Mexican citizen for possession of drugs, and they are also taking action in connection with failure to report cash over 10,000 euros, the statement added.
