Head of Hungary's Asset Recovery Office Describes Miklós Seszták Case
Anna Ungerová, president of Hungary's National Asset Recovery and Protection Office, shared new information about the investigation surrounding former minister Miklós Seszták. She also spoke about the circumstances of his detention and the office's procedures in examining the case. HVG ↗
Ungerová said it was significant that Deputy Head of the Office Katalin Tasnádi appeared at the Prosecutor's Office at the same time as Miklós Seszták. According to the president, this was not a coincidence. The investigation also touches on the contacts of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's brother, although no further details about this part of the case were provided. Index.hu ↗
The president of the office also commented on a public promise made by Péter Magyar, according to which the office was to move into the building of the Kúria. She said that such a move would not take place. She added that neither Péter Magyar nor anyone else had contacted her about this matter.
Anna Ungerová rejected the possibility that anyone could exert political influence over her. She stated that the office will continue its work regardless of political statements or public promises.
The case of Miklós Seszták thus remains the subject of investigation by the Asset Recovery Office and the Prosecutor's Office. Further developments will depend on the results of the review of his detention, surveillance and the contacts that investigators are examining.
