The wife of a prominent Ukrainian politician is alleged to have carried more than £22 million in cash through a refugee border crossing into the EU.
The money, in US dollars and euros, was found by Hungarian customs in the baggage of Anastasia Kotvitska, according to Ukrainian media outlets. She is the wife of Igor Kotvitsky, 52, a former MP.
A criminal case has been opened against Kotvitska for failing to declare the removal of the large sum from Ukraine, the reports said.
