The president of the State Audit Office appealed for the dismissal of the head of the Integrity Authority

László Windisch, the president of the State Audit Office, has appealed to the court regarding the termination of proceedings against Ferenc Pál Bíró, head of the Integrity Authority. The court had previously dismissed Windisch's request to remove Bíró from office, which could occur if he becomes involved in a criminal proceeding related to official misconduct. Windisch initiated this legal action in June, arguing that Bíró does not meet the legal requirements for his position. Bíró was appointed in 2022 based on Windisch's recommendation. Recently, accusations have emerged against Windisch, alleging his complicity in misuse of public funds for illegal party financing, which he denies, asserting compliance with legal obligations during an investigation.
