Technically there should be no need to send proof of release, as the lawyer would already know that his client has no claim to copyright. Unless copyright has been reassigned he is knowingly sending false DMCA notices.

I'm assuming that the wording of the release would also cover use of the model's likeness for commercial purposes and may therefore also negate the Hungarian privacy/identity act claim. But that's a bit more grey, I know zero about Hungarian law, or whether it's worth taking someone in another country (and continent) to court over it.
