The National Investigation Bureau seized evidence from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the ventilator business

The National Investigation Office has seized evidence related to ventilator procurements at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as announced by Anita Orbán. A summer internal investigation revealed a lack of clear documentation on procurement strategies and supplier selection criteria, suggesting potential state losses in the hundreds of billions. In late October, two individuals were arrested in connection with the 2020 ventilator procurements, with allegations of money laundering linked to a criminal organization that profited significantly from state sales. Coordinated actions by authorities led to the seizure of 1.5 billion HUF and multiple interrogations of suspects.
