The Budapest prosecutor's office has proposed pretrial detention for Áron Orbán and three other suspects. They are being investigated on suspicion of human trafficking, allegedly committed as an organized group with the aim of achieving financial gain. Telex ↗
Police detained all four men following a Monday operation in Budapest, Fót and Dunakeszi. After the interrogations were completed, the National Bureau of Investigation announced that it had imposed a measure restricting personal liberty on all suspects and had asked the prosecutor's office to file a motion for pretrial detention. novinky.cz ↗
The prosecutor's office stated that, based on findings so far, there is reasonable grounds to assume that the suspects' presence in the proceedings can only be ensured through pretrial detention. At the same time, according to the office, there is a risk that they could influence the investigation or continue the criminal activity. The court will now decide on the motion. Index.hu ↗
According to information that has appeared in the media, the investigation also concerns suspicions that Vietnamese citizens paid commissions to obtain the visas needed to enter Europe. The case is also being examined by an office focused on asset recovery and the protection of asset values. El Pais ↗

She also claims that he had already contacted the relevant authority several weeks before the police operation.
