Hungarian rescued from "Satanic" Slovak cult

A Slovak police commando team on Friday rescued a Hungarian woman from a satanic cult that had been demanding a ransom for her release, Népszabadság reported.

Four people were arrested during the raid in Královsky Chlmec and police seized hashish, marijuana, two revolvers, a home-made weapon and more than 200 bullets. They also confiscated objects apparently used for satanic rituals.

The 34-year-old captive, Mónika S., went to Královsky Chlmec recently to visit relatives, and there met self-styled nature healer Arnold V., the head of the cult. He eventually took the woman into captivity and demanded $40,000 ransom from her husband in Florida. After the woman secretly telephoned her husband last Wednesday, her relatives notified the Hungarian embassy in Bratislava, which then informed Slovak authorities.
