The writer and fact-finding journalist explained how the Hungarian underworld was created in the Kádár system from burglary gangs created to steal the millions produced in the gray economy. It happened that travelers in semi-legal shops and the so-called seftels have acquired considerable wealth. They mostly bought expensive (sometimes) apartments in Buda and kept their valuables at home, usually more currency than the law allowed for a citizen at the time. It was for this wealth - to steal this - that a professional criminal network of burglars and snitches began to "emerge", who over time contacted criminals who had defected to America, from whom they also learned new methods. One of the "source points" of knowledge transfer was the infamous Hungarian mafia in Los Angeles. After the regime change, the weak Hungarian state and the backward legal background led to the creation of underworld groups that acquired considerable wealth. And among other things, they got involved in oil laundering based on excise fraud, as the security organizers of the logistics capacity. Among the various groups, the "department" led by Tamás Portik began to stand out, among other things, because they managed to sign a very serious assassin. Jozef Roháč, who otherwise looked like a gray mouse, was the best-known assassin of the Hungarian and Slovak underworld, who first became known as the perpetrator of the Aranykéz Street bombing, and as the accomplice of Tamás Portik, the perpetrator of the Fenyő murder. In the meantime, the Hungarian state became stronger, it received professional anti-mafia advice from the FBI, but in addition to the development of the police, the legal background also developed, for example, there was a witness protection program and a very extensive camera system, which is why Hungarian organized crime is now completely different from its heyday. in the 90s. In the interview, András Dezső talks about what it was like to talk to the most well-known underworld hitman linked to the deaths of dozens of people, how the drug market currently works and why the saying is true: "The mafia doesn't want everyone to die either."
