The Kecskemét District Court has extended the detention of Balázs Hankó and his associate, former state secretary Veronika Varga-Bajusz, until February 1. The prosecution argues that the reasons for their detention remain unchanged due to serious allegations of embezzlement involving public funds. Hankó is suspected of misusing funds from the National Cultural Fund to finance political campaigns and personal expenses. Both were arrested on October 1, with their detention initially ordered until the end of October, which was later appealed but rejected by the court.
