Boldog served as an MP for the Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county. The court found him guilty in first-instance proceedings. After the sentencing, it also ordered judicial supervision for him and Petra Fehér, and both received electronic monitoring devices. Telex ↗
Fidesz stated that it does not consider Boldog a political prisoner. The party's statement emphasized that there is no tolerance for corruption. The case concerns a former lawmaker of the ruling party who no longer serves in parliament. HVG ↗
The court's decision can be challenged by appeal, as it is a first-instance ruling. Further proceedings will therefore depend on any possible appellate process.
