Further disclosures in Hungary’s counterfeit plot show that the trunk of Marsovsky, in which French 1,000-franc banknotes were found in Holland, had the official seal of the Hungarian foreign office. Before leaving Budapest he borrowed money from a bank on a note backed by Deputy Goemboes, president of the Hungarian anti-Semitic party, and Deputy Eckhardt, president of the Awakening Magyars. Deputy Eckhardt is a brother-in-law of Admiral Horthy, the regent of Hungary. Horthy himself is reported to be under suspicion of complicity. Dr. Nadossy, the Chief of the State Police, is the intimate friend of Admiral Horthy and took orders directly from the regent.
