A former bouncer in Hungary helps a controversial local mayor by tracking down illegal migrants who have made it across the fortified border.
The 38-year-old Hungarian ex-bouncer known only as “Tari” is an imposing man. Looking like a cross between a Viking and a strongman competitor he was a natural choice to mind nightclub doors.
Tari has now found himself a new job, helping a controversial local Hungarian mayor hunt for illegal migrants who have managed to cross the heavily fortified border and return them to the police who can then deport them, reports Die Welt.
Tari works for László Toroczkai, a mayor who has declared a personal war against illegal migration. Last year Mr. Toroczkai released a video as a warning to illegal migrants not to enter the central European nation (below).
The video, which was styled as a summer Hollywood blockbuster trailer, showed the mayor along with local police on horseback, in police cars, and helicopters as to showcase the resources Mr. Toroczkai possesses to catch illegal migrants.
While the mayor has access to a police force which includes modern equipment, the largest human resource he has is Tari. Though he is eager to help catch migrants, Tari insists that he does not use violence, which counters claims made by migrants in Belgrade who were rejected by Hungarian border guards and deported. The migrants, via a migrant rights association, claimed that the authorities were beating them before deporting them from Hungary.
