"The prosecution of Kaposvar submitted documents on the case of Radimir Cacic, the president of the Croatian People's Party-Liberal Democrats (HNS), to the local court of Mako in southeastern Hungary on Wednesday," the spokeswoman of the Somogy county office told the Hungarian news agency.
Two people died in the accident on January 8, 2010, one person sustained serious injuries and a fourth light ones, Gyongyi Lucza Egervari was quoted as saying.
