Fostul ministru ungar al Culturii, Balázs Hankó, adus în cătușe la tribunal

Balázs Hankó, a former Hungarian culture minister and Fidesz MP, was arrested on suspicion of mismanaging national cultural funds. His detention followed the suspension of his parliamentary immunity, allowing for legal proceedings against him. Allegations include misuse of over 17 billion forints intended for cultural subsidies, which were reportedly diverted to Fidesz electoral campaigns. This case marks a significant development in ongoing corruption investigations targeting former government officials from Viktor Orbán's administration. The Hungarian Parliament also lifted the immunity of other officials, including Prime Minister Péter Magyar, who faces separate allegations.
