Narrative:
Wizz Air flight W61382, an Airbus A321-231 (HA-LTF), was involved in an airprox incident with a Piper PA-34 (SP-TUE) and Wizz Air flight W61340, an Airbus A321-231 (HA-LXS).

ATC issued descent instructions to HA-LTF without prior identification. After the instructions were corrected, the aircraft passed each other, but it was too early for descent, which activated the STCA alarm and resulted in a separation infringement.
