He was born in Hungary in 1905 and immigrated to Austria in the 1920s, where he became involved in criminal activities and was eventually sentenced to prison. After his release, he continued to engage in criminal activities, including train derailments in Europe and the United States that caused multiple fatalities and injuries. Matuska was eventually caught and sentenced to life in prison, where he died in 1971. Despite his violent and dangerous criminal history, he remains a controversial figure in Hungarian criminal history.
