The former director of the Military National Security Service is also listed in the agent files
Béres János, former head of the Military National Security Service, confirmed his involvement as a network agent under the codename "Szunyog". He stated that he was recruited as a teenager for military intelligence tasks, which he did not consider to be informing. Béres explained that he was not politically active and did not report on opposition figures. He believes that his past involvement should not be judged by today's standards, emphasizing that he served his country and military security. He feels unjustly criticized for signing a cooperation agreement at 18, which he viewed as a step towards professional advancement. Béres argues that political influence can lead to significant errors and irreversible damage.
