On 10 December 2009 he was convicted in absentia to seven years imprisonment for growing marijuana. At the time of the bust in 2004, his was the largest operation ever recorded in the country.[2] He was thought to be hiding in Thailand on counterfeit documents,[3] but was ultimately arrested in Andorra.[4] He was sentenced to 7 years in prison. He was released in August 2014.[5]
Stemming from his case, the rules of Hungarian Olympic medalists' lifetime annuity were changed to require keeping a clean criminal record, and Farkas was stripped of his.[6]
