 The Ozora Festival, one of the largest trance and art festivals in Europe, takes place annually in Hungary and attracts thousands of participants from all over the world.

Four arrested in Hungary for drug trafficking

In a separate incident, Hungarian authorities reported several drug-related arrests on the festival grounds.

Fejér County Police added that three men, a Belgian, an Israeli, and a Portuguese citizen, were arrested on Monday on the festival grounds after being caught selling drugs. Proceedings have been opened against the three for drug trafficking.

On Sunday evening, police in Hungary's Tolna district arrested a 27-year-old Israeli on the way to the festival in a rented car with German license plates. A search of the vehicle found a significant amount of party drugs, which were suspected to be intended for sale at the event.

Earlier on Thursday, the Szekszárd District Court extended the Israeli's detention by a month, citing fears of him being a flight risk due to the lack of ties to Hungary and concerns about obstructing the investigation.
