The Hungarian government will introduce checks on politicians' assets going back up to 20 years. The review will be carried out by the National Tax and Customs Administration (NAV). The draft law is to be submitted to the National Assembly without delay. novinky.cz ↗
Prime Minister Péter Magyar stated that the review will also apply to politicians whose mandate ended within the past five years. The check may also extend to the assets of their relatives.
