The criminal organization bought the vegetables and fruit from the union, and then billed the other members of the network as domestic purchases by incorporating companies. The goods only traveled from company to company on paper, in reality they immediately went to the warehouses of the actual traders, to the wholesale market in Budapest, who – based on the fictitious invoices – did not pay the VAT afterwards – they explained.
