The police received the report from Bertalan Havasi, which he filed due to his unpaid severance pay.

The Budapest Police Headquarters is now handling the complaint regarding Bertalan Havasi's salary claim, previously filed with the Prosecutor's Office. Havasi, a former deputy state secretary, alleges that the Prime Minister's Office unlawfully halted his salary payments during his notice period. The Fidesz party claims that if proven, there are grounds for suspicion of abuse of office. Havasi was dismissed from his position in May 2026 after a public dispute with Prime Minister Péter Magyar. He later became Fidesz's communications director and is now seeking the salary he believes he is owed. The Ministry of the Prime Minister's Office terminated his government service on grounds of unworthiness, stating his behavior could damage the reputation of the government.
