Couple charged for returning bottles with photocopied labels
A woman and a man have been charged with collecting non-returnable plastic bottles and “making” them returnable with photocopied labels last fall, the spokesperson for the Csongrád-Csanád County Prosecutor’s Office informed MTI on Thursday.
Ferenc Szanka said that they are accused of fraud committed using the party’s information system.
The defendants obtained non-returnable plastic bottles from a department store in Hódmezővásárhely in November 2024. According to the indictment, they then made copies of the label of a returnable bottle in a photocopying salon and then glued them to the bottles.
The defendants then took the prepared bottles to the city’s return vending machines in several installments, and with them obtained a shopping voucher worth 8,000 thousand forints.
The Hódmezővásárhely District Court will decide on the guilt of the accused, the Deputy Prosecutor General announced.
