His Sentencing

Attila would go on to serve 17 years of jail time in a maximum-security prison. But because of his good behavior, he was given early parole and was released on January 31. 2012, serving a little less than 13 years of his sentence. He was deported back to his hometown of Csikszereda where he now lives as a potter.

Peace And Pottery

These days, Attila spends his time creating jars and the like with his clay and his potting wheel, something he learned from his time incarcerated. And although it’s a very different life from what he was used to before, it’s one that he is happy with. People still claim that he is “a national fairy-tale hero,” but Attila says otherwise, “But I’m not a folk hero,” and yet, a movie was made about his scandalous life of crime. We’re almost certain it’s worth a screening, and a shot of whiskey to go with it too, of course.
