Border ‘migrant tripper’ cleared

A CAMERAWOMAN who was filmed kicking and trying to trip migrants in 2015 has been acquitted by Hungary’s supreme court.

The decision revised the rulings of two lower courts that had sentenced Petra László to three years’ probation for disorderly conduct at the Hungarian border with Serbia.

The court said László should have been charged with a misdemeanour instead of a criminal offence. It said the case had to be terminated since the statute of limitations had expired.
