 During the summer of 2008 the mafia clan of the "Raffael" and "Sztojka" Romani families based in the town of Enying, Hungary started to take power in the nightlife of the northern shore of Lake Balaton, a major tourist destination of Hungary.Siófok was a favorite place of the clan and frequently caused problem for the owners since they often made quarrels and did not pay their bills.Not a long time before the case, two of the three suspected persons (including Iván Sztojka) were released from prison after the duration of their prison sentence was mitigated by one third because of "good behavior".
