Laszlo later told Russian newspaper Izvestia that her life was “ruined” by the incidents which took place Sept. 8, 2015, and she was considering moving to Russia.

Laszlo did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Zsolt Kopasz, the chief prosecutor of Csongrad County, said in a statement that after a thorough investigation, it was determined that there was no “reasonable chance” for Laszlo’s actions “to cause injury.”

“No data emerged which would have indicated that the conducts of the accused were motivated by ethnic considerations or by the migrant status of the victims,” Kopasz said.

The man Laszlo tried to trip, and who fell while trying to pull away from police at the border, was later identified as Osama Abdul Mohsen, a soccer coach from Syria. He and part of his family settled in Spain, where he was working for a Spanish soccer club.

Last year, nearly 400,000 migrants and refugees passed through Hungary on their way west before Prime Minister Viktor Orban had fences protected by razor wire built on the border with Serbia and Croatia. Together with other measures, such as allowing police to “escort” back to Serbia unregistered migrants found within eight kilometres of the border, the fences have practically halted the migrant flow.

Laszlo’s trial will be held in the southern city of Szeged.
