On July 22, police arrested Ede Kaiser and László Hajdú, who were also suspected to have committed the robbery. This claim seemed more plausible, as both suspects had criminal records, and the witness reports seemed to fit their likeness; a month later, however, police major László Ferenczi has admitted that all evidence in the case is indirect, and that the DNA-tests failed to bring a result. The two men were arraigned, found guilty and sentenced between 2004 and 2006.
In the February of 2007, however, events took a sharp turn when a person apprehended after a murder of a postman at Tatabánya
claimed to be one of the attackers at Mór. Investigation eventually revealed that the evidence collection in case of Kaiser and Hajdú was blatantly cursory, and that the key witness of the case might have lied in court; the guns used at the robbery were eventually found at the apartment of one of the new suspects.

The Mór massacre
On May 9, 2002, around noon, two armed men entered an Erste Bank office in Mór. For reasons unknown, they shot everyone in the building, including the customers, and left with 7.3 million Forints. Six people died instantly, the two survivors died in the hospital the following day. The case was not only notable for the brutality shown by the perpetrators, but also for the police confusion that followed: four days after the incident, police claimed that they had apprehended the two gunmen, Szilárd Horváth (who voluntarily gave himself up) and Róbert Farkas; the claim turned out to be false, however, as Horváth proved his alibi, and Farkas turned out to be an unlikely suspect as well.On July 22, police arrested Ede Kaiser and László Hajdú, who were also suspected to have committed the robbery. This claim seemed more plausible, as both suspects had criminal records, and the witness reports seemed to fit their likeness; a month later, however, police major László Ferenczi has admitted that all evidence in the case is indirect, and that the DNA-tests failed to bring a result.
