"The media would be happy with an image of me going into a prison" – Orbán explained why he does not visit his arrested brother.
Former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán defended his brother Áron, recently arrested for human trafficking, claiming the legal actions are politically motivated. He criticized the timing of arrests of former officials, suggesting they are part of a staged show. Orbán expressed concern over the implications of state connections and denied any wrongdoing related to state support. He stated he would not visit his brother in prison, fearing media speculation. Áron's lawyer contests the charges and has appealed the detention decision, which was justified by risks of flight and influencing the investigation. Viktor believes the actions aim to eliminate political opponents and establish a one-party system.
