Five individuals, including a lawyer and a bank executive, have been arrested on suspicion of economic fraud involving significant value. The Central Investigative Prosecutor's Office confirmed the arrests related to the MNB case. The exact reasons for the arrests of lawyer Tamás Sándor and Quartz Investment Fund's CEO Mihály Valkó were previously unclear. Additionally, international arrest warrants have been issued for Ádám Matolcsy, the son of the central bank governor, and György Stofa, CEO of Optima Zrt., due to similar fraud allegations. The penalties for such economic fraud can range from 5 to 10 years of imprisonment under the Criminal Code.
